GHANA: Rescue Mission for Vulnerable Girls

Sexual exploitation of children is “rampant and out of hand” in Ghana

In Ghana, the government has declared sexual exploitation of children “rampant and out of hand.” Before they are even teenagers, many girls are lured into prostitution due to poverty, peer pressure, broken homes, and sheer ignorance. Tragically, due to an influx of workers for a growing oil industry, child prostitution is on the rise.

These young girls need the healing and comfort only God’s Word can offer. Trauma, guilt, shame, and hopelessness plague the victims of these brutal acts, and the abyss of pain and fear threatens to lead them to despair and suicide. Without rescue and restoration, they have little hope.
