Accra, Jan. 15, GNA – In hope of a handout, a young child beggar runs alongside a moving mini bus, reaching out in the expectation that a passenger will offer her some money, while her counterparts look on from the roadside.
In the desperate pursuit of a few coins, she throws caution to the wind, exposing herself to the dangers of moving traffic.
The poignant scene reveals the harsh realities faced by children who turn busy streets into places of survival, where the hope of a small handout can outweigh the fear of a speeding vehicle.
But amid the daily struggle for survival, one question remains; How safe are these children?
