CAS has four fieldworkers who carry out fieldwork:
They conduct group education exercises - children are educated in the streets mainly on life skill and health issues.
They conduct research on general survival skills of the children.
They conduct special research in villages and towns from which many children depart.
They visits social welfare districts.

CAS runs a ‘House of Refuge’ in Laterbiokoshie, Accra. Here, street boys and girls come daily to take part in programmes and activities. They can also receive medical treatment, wash and keep their belongings and money safe. Very importantly, the Refuge is a place where they can receive advice and education to help them with their everyday life and for their future. Children attend literacy classes, receive an introduction to different trades or simply play sports and games.

There is a possibility to ‘go on sponsorship’, which means CAS helps a child who is ready to move off the street and learn a trade or go to school. CAS’ Hopeland Training Centre is a place where children go to prepare before going on to be sponsored.

CAS comes into contact with many young adults (men and women) older than 18 years but does not support them. Children below 18 years old are welcome at the Refuge. We are strict about this in order to protect and encourage the smaller and younger children.
