The Sarafina Foundation started from World Vision Ghana’s Child Parliament in the Savelugu Municipality of the Northern Region of the republic of Ghana. The child parliament was formed to empower children from rural communities to advocate on all forms of violence against children. From child labour, through child trafficking to child marriage, the group held series of advocacy campaigns in and outside the municipality.
The organization is led by Sarafina Akisichab, a community mobilization specialist with over 10 years of experience working with children, youth, women and other marginalized groups, local communities and opinion leaders to inform and educate especially youth and women to help reduce new all forms of violence against children.
Sarafina Akisichab is versatile with strategies for engaging communities on development issues including health and is focused on achieving behavioural change in the long term.
