ABAN is an organization working to solve two problems with one united solution.
Every day, over 40 tons of plastic waste is thrown into the streets of Accra, Ghana.
Every night, over 30,000 children fall asleep on those same streets. ABAN works
with the street girls of Accra to help them learn a trade, make a living, and secure a
future as well as receive the tools to transform their city into a healthier environment.
ABAN fights the neglect facing both the girls and the environment.
They provide the girls with shelter, seamstress training, Business, English, Math, and
Life Skills Education, and the means to save, matching their individual savings upon
graduation. Through seamstress training, the girls learn a marketable skill by sewing
recycled sachet bags into unique,handmade products. Recognizing that every girl
has a unique and personal dream, ABAN provides the financial boost and personal
assistance needed for these girls to transition from a life in the streets to a respectable
standing in society.
Here are some of their products... Check out more at www.aban.org
