About

The Let’s Feed The Streets Togther initiative is aStarlight Foundation’s annual Christmas project dedicated to bringing hope and joy to street-connected children, families, and vulnerable individuals across Ghana.  Every December 25th, we gather volunteers, partners, and donors to provide health screenings, meals, clothes and essential services to over 1,000 individuals who call the streets their home. 

Problem Statement

In Ghana, it’s estimated that over 90,000 children live and work on the streets, with Accra alone accounting for approximately 60,000 street-connected children. Instead of these children to attend school and access opportunities they need to develop, they are rather abused, stigmatised and exploited. For many street-connected people, the sense of feeling loved, valued and safe is foreign to them. This is a harsh reality many children and families face every day of their lives.

No one chooses to live on the streets or endure the uncertainty of each day under the harsh sun unless they have no other option. The streets are not a place of choice but of survival—a last resort for those who have nobody to support them and nowhere else to go. These people are simply victims of circumstances.

At Starlight Foundation, we recognise the humanity and potential of every individual, regardless of their circumstances. This project was born out of the understanding that no one chooses to live on the streets and that they deserve a better life.

Project Justification

The Let’s Feed the Street Together is about much more than providing food, medical screening, and gifts for the holiday season. It’s about showing these individuals that they matter, that someone sees their struggles and that they have a place within our community.
This project aims to meet their immediate needs and to plant seeds of hope and connection. By gathering for a holiday meal, offering warm clothing, and giving gifts, we’re not just addressing their physical needs but also giving them a chance to experience kindness, to be celebrated and to be reminded that they are part of us.

Our Impact Over the Years

Since its inception, Let’s Feed the Streets Together has served thousands of street-connected children and families, transforming Christmas from a day of longing to one of celebration. Through partnerships with healthcare providers, volunteers and community leaders, we’ve achieved:
● Over 10,000 meals shared across the streets of Accra.
● Free medical screenings for over 1000 street-connected children.
● Distribution of over 2000 clothes, shoes and relief items to street-connected children and orphanages.
