Ghana, being a developing country, faces similar difficulties as other countries in the same situation. Migration to the cities, insufficient infrastructure, and in stable economic situations affect the poorest members of society the most, with children being the most vulnerable and afflicted. A growing number of street children over the past decade recorded over 60,000 street children in Accra, the capital city of Ghana, in a census conducted in February, 2012. The number has since steadily increased. Kinder Paradise aims at this target group among others, contributing its support in a context where government cannot provide sufficient aid for the need of such children. It runs two facilities (a Children’s Home and a Day Center) and a school, and takes care of more than 200 children inside and outside the Home, with the aim of re-integrating them into society as independent and responsible citizens. Kinder Paradise supports residents and former residents of its Home and children from its Day Center by covering their fees for continued education, like vocational training, secondary school, colleges, and universities.

Kinder Paradise is a non-profit organization, registered in Accra, Ghana, W-Africa, with the Registrar General and the Department of Social Welfare. It was founded in 1998. Mrs. Silke Roesner, a founding member, is the director of Kinder Paradise
