CAS owns a demonstration farm, known as Hopeland Training Centre in Ashaiman, not far from Accra. Hopelands is a department of CAS, and provides a sort of half way house for street children who want to leave the streets and be educated. The time they spend at Hopeland

Street children who want to leave the streets and be educated, follow the preparation course provided at the House of Refuge.

For the child it is a first step towards leaving the streets and living in a new environment. At the centre, the child receives more attention from social workers and staff. Forty children, 20 boys and 20 girls,
can stay for 3 - 6 months at Hopeland.

Various kinds of animals such as chickens, pigs, rabbits, ducks, turkeys and bees are reared and kept. The children at Hopeland are invited to take part in farm activities and to follow the educational programme. Ceramic and candle making workshops have been established. At Hopeland, children go through preparation lessons as a way of helping them to take decisions for their future. Depending on their choice they are either supported in learning a trade or go to school. They follow lessons in literacy, mathematics, English, health education and life skills. It is a continuation of what they have learnt at the House of Refuge.
