In November 2025, the Africa Faith and Justice Network (AFJN) Ghana team made an advocacy visit to the Kuli community to support local efforts to end early and child marriage and domestic servitude.
As part of the visit, the team presented two sets of jerseys and two footballs to the two girls’ soccer clubs established by AFJN in the community. These clubs were created to reduce girls’ social isolation, provide safe leisure time away from exploitative domestic work, and build confidence, leadership, and essential life skills among the girls.
To commemorate the 10th anniversary of the Continental Landgrabbing Conference—an initiative launched by AFJN in partnership with African and European allies—we have commissioned a documentary showcasing our work in Ghana, where AFJN actively implemented the Conference’s resolutions.
