They roam the streets in the day, make a living at lorry terminals and pass the night under bridges and open spaces.
At Asafo, one of the biggest lorry terminals in Kumasi, the menace of streetism continues to be a threat to society and a worry to city authorities.
The space under the Asafo Interchange is home to scores of people, mostly children who are often at the risk of sexual abuse.
They are either chased out by domestic violence, drug and alcohol abuse, death of a parent, family breakdown and other socio-economic factors.
Maafia is heavily pregnant. She sleeps under the Asafo Interchange despite the unfavourable weather.
She became a commercial sex worker after the death of both parents.
She cannot track her external family because she was born on the street.
She already has one child who has been adopted due to poor parenting.
Maafia says life on the street is difficult but she has no option than to resume her sex-for-money business after delivery.
These children living on the street want the government to assist them start apprenticeship.
Gender activist, Akua Afriyie and the Assembly Member of Asafo, Ernest Okai, support the children with food and clothing.
They are looking up to the government to help get them out of the street.
