“The best way to not feel hopeless is to get up “The best way to not feel hopeless is to get up and do something. Don’t wait for good things to happen to you. If you go out and make some good things happen, you will fill the world with hope, you will fill yourself with hope.” ― Barack Obama | HAPPY NATIONAL VOLUNTEER DAY | #NVDay #NationalVolunteerDay #StarlightFoundation #LetUsSaveTheWorldTogether #VolunteerInGhana
As part of Starlight Foundation’s conscious effo As part of Starlight Foundation’s conscious effort to ensure that the street-connected children under the “Menso Meka Ho Bi” initiative have admittance to health care, we enrolled them on the National Health Insurance Scheme which allows them to have access to free medical care with the hope that their parents through the skills they have acquired will generate income to further renew the insurance when it expires after one year. This project is funded by @adamfoghana in their quest to curb Streetism by providing comprehensive scholarships to underprivileged, street-connected and vulnerable children whilst empowering their parents with skills. #StarlightFoundation #AdamfoGhana #MensoMekaHoBi #Education #FamilySupport #EndingStreetism #Empowerment #CommunityDevelopment #Teshie #Accra #Ghana

It is clear that they have mastery in their respective business ventures after undergoing this training and for that matter, we call upon individuals, corporate entities and households to contract them through Starlight Foundation as a way of aiding in income generation. We look forward to sharing their journey and business growth with you all. The “Menso Meka Ho Bi” initiative is aimed at equipping single mothers with income-generating skills that will enable them to be self-sufficient in a bid to end streetism and cater for their families whilst providing a comprehensive scholarship to their children. #StarlightFoundation #AdamfoGhana #MensoMekaHoBi #Education #FamilySupport #EndingStreetism #Empowerment #CommunityDevelopment #Teshie #Accra
The “Menso Meka Ho Bi” initiative will signifi The “Menso Meka Ho Bi” initiative will significantly affect the lives of beneficiaries in their income generation activities, livelihood security and self-employability thus bringing in the much-needed confidence among them and helping them move forward towards development. Starlight Foundation will continue to play an active role to facilitate the project to establish a strong link with government and non-governmental schemes to generate the required assistance. We're using the “Train-the-Trainer” model to help sustain the initiative and allow the first cohort of beneficiaries to be able to train other or emerging interested persons to build local capacities and increase livelihood opportunities in their communities. #StarlightFoundation #AdamfoGhana #MensoMekaHoBi #Education #FamilySupport #EndingStreetism #Empowerment #CommunityDevelopment #Teshie #Accra

#MensoMekaHoBi: Creating opportunities for street- #MensoMekaHoBi: Creating opportunities for street-connected families through education and entrepreneurship In Ghana, the free education policy at the primary and secondary school levels ensures that every child can be educated. However, other costs associated with these students' day-to-day activities are not covered by the government, making it difficult for underprivileged and street-connected children to meet their basic needs while attending school. Street-connected families in Ghana face numerous challenges, including a lack of access to quality education for their children and a stable source of income to support their families. These children eventually drop out of school, becoming involved in illegal means of earning a living such as armed robbery, prostitution, cyber fraud, and so on to support their families, while others engage in other street activities to make a living. To improve the situation of these underprivileged, street-connected, vulnerable, brilliant but needy children, families, and local communities must contribute individually or collectively to supplement the government's and other development partners' efforts. As a result, the Starlight Foundation introduced the "Menso Meka Ho Bi" initiative, to wit "I am also privileged," addressing Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) 1, 2, 4, 8, and 17. The initiative aimed at providing comprehensive scholarships to underprivileged, street-connected, vulnerable, brilliant but needy children in the Greater Accra Region's urban slums to foster their education, while empowering their parent(s), particularly single mother(s) to increase their livelihood through skills training to cater for themselves and their children's educational needs. The Starlight Foundation is intentionally building a world of Hope in which every child can grow up safe to its full potential without any Threats. #StarlightFoundation #AdamfoGhana #MensoMekaHoBi #Education #FamilySupport #EndingStreetism #Empowerment #CommunityDevelopment #Teshie #Accra
#MensoMekaHoBi: Reducing streetism through educati #MensoMekaHoBi: Reducing streetism through education, entrepreneurship, and women empowerment If you ask a street-connected child why he or she is not in school, their ideal response is, "My parents can't afford it, so I'm finding a life on the street." We at Starlight Foundation graduated our first batch of beneficiary skills trainees under phase one of the "Menso Meka Ho Bi" initiative at Teshie Maamle on August 26, 2022. Starlight is a community-based nonprofit that aims to combat streetism through education, entrepreneurship, and youth empowerment. The primary objective of the maiden "Menso Meka Ho Bi" project was to provide skills training, seed capital and the necessary equipment to mothers of selected street-connected children for them to start a business and provide for their children when they are taken off the street and sent back to school, as well as enroll these children in our comprehensive scholarship scheme, which will follow once schools reopen. We believe that with the skills and capital (in cash and materials) provided, the mothers of these children will be able to start generating some money for themselves in a year, provide for their children, and train other young ladies in similar skills by engaging them in their trade. Thank you to all of our partners, notably @adamfoghana, who have been extremely helpful with this project. We are on a journey to create a world of hope in which every kid can grow up safely to their full potential without threats, and you can join us by coming on board as an individual or corporate partner, or sponsor. #StarlightFoundation #AdamfoGhana #MensoMekaHoBi #Education #FamilySupport #EndingStreetism #Empowerment #CommunityDevelopment #Teshie #Accra
To sum up the practical sessions of the "Menso Mek To sum up the practical sessions of the "Menso Meka Ho Bi" initiative, beneficiaries were introduced to a business management skills education. During their education, they were taught basic bookkeeping records which aimed at keeping them accountable in their respective business ventures. The trainers also took them through the nitty-gritties of personal branding and marketing poised at promoting sales, visibility, and attracting attention on social media. A question and answer session was allowed where the beneficiaries sought clarity on what was taught. This initiative does not only seek to empower single mothers with skills that will enable them to generate income to be self-reliant to end Streetism, but also to equip them with the needed expertise to manage their finances and promote their products. #StarlightFoundation #AdamfoGhana #MensoMekaHoBi #Education #FamilySupport #EndingStreetism #Empowerment #CommunityDevelopment #Teshie #Accra #Ghana

Advancing to the last practical session for the Pa Advancing to the last practical session for the Pastry & Baking Cohort under the "Menso Meka Ho Bi" Initiative, the beneficiaries were taken through the preparation of fried pastries. They started with the measurement of the ingredients, and then progressed to mixing both the dry and wet ingredients. After that, the trainers took them through the kneading stage of the dough before cutting and rolling it into round pieces. They progressed to the frying stage where crispy pastries were obtained in the form of sweet buns, chips and doughnuts. In the absence of @adamfoghana, this initiative would have remained nothing more than a paper fantasy. #StarlightFoundation #AdamfoGhana #MensoMekaHoBi #Education #FamilySupport #EndingStreetism #Empowerment #CommunityDevelopment #Teshie #Accra #Ghana
Another training session for the Pastry & Baking C Another training session for the Pastry & Baking Cohort under the "Menso Me Ka Ho Bi" Initiative continued with exciting packages. The beneficiaries this time around were introduced to the preparation of finger foods particularly spring rolls and samosas. They were taken through the prep stage involving the cutting and shredding of the vegetables made available. They prepared the spring roll wrappers as well after stir-frying the vegetables and the minced beef. The spirit of teamwork was employed and this got them working at a faster pace. At the end of the day, they got crunchy spring rolls and samosas after going through the right method. Empowering single mothers with skills that will empower them to generate income by being self-reliant is the main focus of the project. #StarlightFoundation #AdamfoGhana #MensoMekaHoBi #Education #FamilySupport #EndingStreetism #Empowerment #CommunityDevelopment #Teshie #Accra #Ghana
