The foundation recruits children from the streets, from destitute homes, and also concerned parents who do not have the ability to provide the needs of their children bring them to the foundation.
Such children are institutionalized in our boarding facility and made to enjoy the healthiest privilege the foundation grants to all of them. They feel very happy to enjoy educational facilities just as other privileged children. Teenagers who, without parental control or otherwise, get pregnant and have no one to look after them are also supported, given ante and post-natal care until they are fit enough to be trained in vocations or sponsored to further their education. The children are automatically absorbed into the beneficiaries.
The Commission for Community Outreach and Monitoring (CCOM) is a commission within the Young and Lonely Foundation that supports the community to outreach any initiatives organized for children, as well as monitoring the children in the community. It is made up of well trained experts on child healthcare and development. The mission of the commission is to develop and implement projects aimed at erasing homelessness and streetism among orphans in the community, especially those in Agona District and other surrounding Districts. The commission does it works through organization of fun programs for the children, interviewing both the children and their parents, holding meetings with parents, all with the paramount view of knowing exactly what their problems are and how best they can help and probably solve these problems.
One vital vision of this commission is to upgrade the hidden potentials in these orphans and homeless children in Agona District and other Districts.
Deprived children fished out by the commission in the community are integrated with the boarding students the foundation partner with, for them to have access to the boarding facilities. This is with the aim of allowing the children undergo a thorough psychological test exercises. These tests purposely restore children with emotional and mental conflicts.
This Commission is supported financially by volunteers who are more interested in the well-being of children. The commission had couple of volunteers who occasionally contributed financially just to see to the progress of the commission's works. Currently, these volunteers are no more and that the commission's work has become a bit slower and immobile. The Commission is appealing to volunteers who have keen interest in the child's well-being to contribute their quota, be it material things or finances to help upgrade the commission's work and the needy children as well.
Under this Commission, the foundation supports a number of Children in three (3) categories.

(A) Children under nursery 1 and 2, kindergarten 1 and 2 have been sponsored with the term’s tuition fees in such a way that the registration fees for the child is what is needed, and that will cover up to basic level (primary) and above; but as compared to the ones catered for in the boarding house, there are differences. To sum it up, not less than three hundred (300) children are sponsored in this category.
(B) Under category two, basic level 1 (primary) to senior high school students are sponsored. Approximately, seventy (70) school children are sponsored partly due to their specific predicaments and all of them are “Day students”.
(C) The foundation sponsors nearly thirty (30) orphans and needy children in full with food, shelter, etc now in the boarding house.

On the list of beneficiaries are women without any economic activities due to financial in capabilities. They are equipped with the necessary finance by a micro-finance system in the foundation to find life worth living; they are financed to do economic activities they find applicable to themselves so that the profit is used to provide the needs of the children in the foundation’s partner institution: St. Germain School Complex.
Also, communities in the Agona and other surrounding districts are beneficiaries of the activities of YLF. Since the foundation is poised to provide hope for the hopeless, communities with low standard of livelihood are empowered in health and economic issues by implementing programmes and projects in favour of the inhabitants of the communities. Voluntary projects established to alleviate the plight of the people span from health issues to economic issues. Some include Community sensitization on health, MDGs, HIV/AIDS, etc.

People living with HIV/ AIDS (PLHIVs) are not left out. YLF in collaboration with Agona Swedru Governmental Hospital has an antiritroviral treatment centre built in the Hospital premises to handle special treatment of the PLHIVs. They are regularly counseled on the need to live normal, stress-free life, eat balanced diet and have clear conscience just as all others. Our difficulties in handling their issues range from inadequate antiritroviral drugs to lack of fund to provide their basic necessities. We need all hands on deck to help them.

Education is also done regularly in the communities on how to empower the inhabitants especially the youth; workshops are established on skills acquisition to train the youth and women without any economic activities with handicrafts making.
A list of individual children catered for to date can be obtained in the foundation's office. Also, lists of beneficiary women, communities and other associations can be obtained in the foundation's office.

We urge all volunteers and philanthropists to help with all they could: donations and/ or services to make life meaningful for the children, women, PLHIVs, communities and all needy.

There are more other deprived children under our care. You can also give financial or material aid to any of these children. We need donations including computers, farm equipment,instructional materials, agro-chemicals or cash,as well as ideas for our Agriculture and Food Security Project. Be part of this project. You are cordially welcome.Voluntary teachers and workers are Welcome! Come let us create this child-world of peace and unity. Thank You.
