Thousands of children of school-going-age are literally rotting away at Old Fadama, the biggest slum in Accra.
Born into vicious poverty and growing up in a profoundly underserved community, famed for all kinds of dreadful social vices – including violent crime, drug use, and prostitution – these children face an uncertain future in a free country where one out of every three children live in biting poverty.
In this special report titled: “THE POISONED GENERATION,” CitiNews’ Richard Dela Sky, tells a compelling story of how thousands of Ghana’s children at Old Fadama are inadvertently poisoning themselves daily, with toxic fumes at electronic waste dump sites just outside the slum in a desperate effort to put food on the table.
The report, 45 minutes in length, was first aired on the award-winning Citi Breakfast Show on Monday August 31, 2015.
