About

The Let’s Feed The Streets Together initiative is a Starlight 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 attending school and accessing 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

Let’s Feed the Street Together is about much more than providing food, medical screenings, and holiday gifts. 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.

Project Goals

  1. To provide health screening, meals, clothing and essential supplies to 1,000 street-connected children every December.
  2. To provide them with gifts such as clothes and shoes during the festive season.
  3. To raise awareness among the public about the hardships faced by street-connected youth and encourage long-term support.

The holiday season is a time for community, care, and compassion—yet for many street-connected children, it can be a season of greater loneliness and hardship. These children face immense challenges daily, struggling for basic needs like food, warmth, and shelter. 

Let’s Feed the Street Together is more than just a meal or a gift; it’s a message that they are seen, valued, and not forgotten. Your support can help bridge this gap, bringing comfort and a sense of belonging to these young individuals.
