Child Trafficking in Ghana

In Ghana, approximately 7,000 kids are being trafficked to work for fishermen on Lake Volta.  Children as young as 5 years old.  Mercy Project is working to find long-term, sustainable solutions that equip the Ghanaians to find other means of making a living. They are set to rescue a group of children this fall.  The video below is a short documentary about what Mercy Project is doing.

It breaks my heart to see these beautiful children away from their families, forced into slavery, with no childhood, no schooling, and no way out.  Please pray for the kids and for groups like Mercy Project to be successful in bringing a new way of life to Ghana.  Here is their Website if you want to learn more.  http://mercyproject.net/
