"Ghana Has No Plan For Young People" – TK Azaglo, Future Of Africa
<p>What does it really mean for a child to grow up on the streets of Ghana?</p><p>In this deeply confronting episode of The Peswa Podcast, we sit down with Torwomenye Kwasi Mawuli Azaglo (TK), Founder and President of Future of Africa (FOA), for one of the most difficult conversations we've had about children living in street situations.</p><p>TK doesn't speak about streetism from a distance. For years, he has gone into the streets of Accra, built relationships with children living there, listened to their stories and experienced their realities firsthand.</p><p><br></p><p>And in this conversation, he holds nothing back.</p><p>He shares some of the horrifying realities he has witnessed—from the story of a young boy who was shot by police and later died, to young girls facing sexual violence, pregnancy and devastating experiences while trying to survive on the streets.</p><p>TK challenges the way Ghanaian society looks at street children. What happens when a child has nowhere safe to sleep? What happens when they are hungry? What happens when they are abused? What happens when the institutions that are supposed to protect them cannot provide a sustainable way out?</p><p>From leaving his career at Ashesi University to dedicate himself fully to Future of Africa, to building programmes that provide rehabilitation, education, healthcare, skills training and pathways to employment, TK shares the journey that transformed his understanding of what it means to serve.</p><p><br></p><p>This is not simply a conversation about street children.</p><p>It is a conversation about poverty, abuse, childhood, responsibility, government, social systems, compassion and the kind of future we are creating for Ghana's children.</p><p>Watch until the end.</p><p>This is The Peswa Podcast.</p><p>#ThePeswaPodcast #FutureOfAfrica #TKAzaglo #Ghana #StreetChildren #Streetism #YouthDevelopment #SocialImpact #GhanaPodcast #Africa</p>
