A Ban Against Neglect
ABAN is an organization working to solve two problems with one united solution. Every day, over 40 tons of plastic waste is thrown into the streets of Accra, Ghana. Every night, over 30,000 children fall asleep on those same streets. ABAN works with the street girls of Accra to help them learn a trade, make a living, and secure a future, as well as to receive the tools to transform their city into a healthier environment.
Get Involved
Whether you are a student, teacher, church member, mother, you-name-it, you can start an ABAN fundraiser that will both raise money for our mission and YOURS!
