Abstract

This map is a visual showcase of a research project, Growing up on the Streets. There are 10 chapters covering 10 'capabilities' – key aspects of life most important to children and youth that are living and working on the streets. The chapters cover Shelter, Building Assets, Resilience, Keeping Safe in the City, Health and Wellbeing, Support of Friends, Making a Living, Enough to Eat, Plans for the Future, and Time to Play.
All the visual and context material was created by street youth living on the streets of Accra, namely: Akor, Bediako, Rabbi, Akoley, Atongo, Atinga, Ophelia, Nissan, Fuseina, Mawulolo, and Juliana.
