The name social welfare isn't social.
My child is 4yrs and I have lost my job, so gave her to my God mother to support me take care of her. Today the mums family have gone for her without me and the guardian concern, and social welfare is allowing the girls family custody to sleep in the same room with 7 people in a single room. And they will call to ask of ¢1 for koko for the child. Knowing my situation, the girls father has 7 children, and is not taking care of them, but the mother of the girl didn't take her to social welfare but I who try my possible best, is taken there. Today the child is at home not going to school cos the other parents cannot afford her fees. So is the law supposed to look at the future of the child of selfish interest of some people. No wonder we Ghanaians are suffering, cos the laws are upside down.

My concern for mad men in my area
hello, am writing from Accra,Haatso. There are many mad men on the streets in my area and I want to know what the social welfare can do about this. They are very dirty and homeless and I am very much concerned about this so please help me out. If the social welfare can not do anything about it then what other institution can help. Thank you.
