“Ghana’s Land and Children Under Threat: The Devastating Impact of Illegal Mining”
The National NGO Forum is set to host a critical event to address the alarming issue of illegal mining in Ghana, which is not only decimating the country’s precious land but also exploiting children. The event, titled “Stop Galamsey, End Child Labour,” aims to bring attention to the devastating impact of illegal mining on Ghana’s environment and children.
