Over 600 trafficked children sent to work in fishing communities along the Volta Lake in both the Volta and Brong Ahafo regions have been rescued by Partners in Community Development Programme (PACODEP). Over 100 others who engaged in child labour in various communities have also been sold into slavery, some for as low as GH?50 for three years, Weekend Finder has learnt.


Communities along the Volta Lake in the Volta Region where these children are trafficked to include Old Nanasewi, Cement, Basare, Ketsense, Ofoase, Nkatinkwan, Old Kadentwe, Sablakope, Kotakota, and Kporviegyi. In the Brong Ahafo Region, trafficked children are sent to Lalakope, Yebedanagya, Bakpakope, Adakope, Manoyikope, Gakope, Old Nkomi, Atikagome, Wayokope, Kwasistsekope, and a host of others.

Living in miserable conditions and working long hours every day, these kids are exploited by fishermen desperate to feed their families and eke out a living along the banks of Lake Volta. The Weekend Finder gathered that many of the victims do not see anything wrong with what they are doing instead of being in school. The depletion of fish stocks is one of the key reasons why children are needed as workers in the fishing industry. In addition to being cheap labour, the small nimble fingers of the children are useful in releasing the fish from the smaller nets. Another task that trafficked children frequently perform is diving to disentangle the fish nets from the numerous tree stumps that are scattered in the lake.
