Millennium Child Support Group is dedicated to improving the lives of underprivileged children. Our primary goal is to provide vulnerable children with access to four fundamental pillars of a healthy and fulfilling life: quality education, healthcare, child protection, and clean water.

Education:
Education is a powerful tool that can transform lives and break the cycle of poverty. We believe that every child deserves the opportunity to receive a quality education. By providing access to schools, teachers, books, and educational resources, we aim to equip these children with the necessary knowledge and skills to succeed in life. Our educational initiatives aim to bridge the education gap by establishing and supporting schools in these communities. We strongly advocate for equal opportunities for all children and believe that education is the key to unlocking their potential. By providing quality education, we empower these children to overcome challenges and achieve their dreams.

Healthcare:
Access to healthcare services is crucial for children's well-being and development. Millennium Child Support Group strives to ensure that these children have access to basic healthcare facilities, including medical check-ups, vaccinations, and essential medications. We also work towards raising awareness about preventive healthcare practices to promote a healthy lifestyle within their communities. We understand the importance of good healthcare in ensuring the overall well-being of these children. MCSG actively collaborates with local healthcare professionals and organizations to provide access to essential medical services and treatments. Our focus is on preventive care, early intervention, and raising awareness about healthcare practices, nutrition, and hygiene.

Child Protection:
Child protection and safeguarding are fundamental pillars of our work. Millennium Child Support Group strives to create safe environments where children can grow, learn, and thrive. MCSG actively engages with local communities and authorities to advocate for children's rights, develop child protection protocols, and support victims of abuse or exploitation.
We are committed to safeguarding children from any form of abuse, exploitation, and violence. Through various programs and initiatives, we provide support and resources to create a protective environment for these vulnerable children. Our efforts focus on establishing child protection mechanisms, raising awareness about child rights, and providing counselling and guidance to children in need.

Clean Water:
Access to clean water and sanitation is a fundamental human right that should never be compromised. MCSG implements sustainable projects that aim to provide communities with clean water sources, proper sanitation facilities, and hygiene education. By addressing these basic needs, we contribute to the overall health and well-being of children and their communities.

Access to clean and safe drinking water is vital for the well-being and overall development of children. Unfortunately, many children in underprivileged communities lack access to clean water sources, leading to numerous health issues. Our organization strives to implement sustainable solutions to provide clean water, improve sanitation facilities, and promote proper hygiene practices among these children and their communities.

With your support and contributions, we can make a significant difference in the lives of these children. We believe that by addressing these four key areas – education, healthcare, child protection, and clean water – we can help these children reach their full potential and create a better future for themselves and their communities.

Challenge
While Ghana, as a country, has made tremendous achievement in the water supply sector, there are still huge gaps in sanitation & Hygiene behaviour change processes. Ghana has achieved 89% access to safe water, but the access to improved sanitation coverage is only 15% (JMP 2015).

Water & Sanitation

War, violent conflict, terrorism and violent extremism have differential and devastating consequences for women and girls. In the face of this, women are all over the world are leading movements for peace and to rebuild communities, and there is strong evidence suggesting that women’s participation in peace processes contributes to longer, more resilient peace after conflict.
