CAS works closely with other Non Governmental Organizations (N.G.O.) and one of them is Street Girls Aid (S.AID). S.AID runs a Refuge in Abofu – Achimota, Accra, for those street girls who are pregnant. Before and after the delivery the girls can stay in S.AID's Refuge. They get medical care as well as advice about how to take care of themselves and their baby.
CAS supported S.AID in establishing other baby care creches in Accra. S.AID runs the crèches, where babies and young children are cared for, while their mothers go to work in the market and try and earn enough for both her and her baby to survive.
• Fundraisers/Donors
