The loss of a partner often brings significant financial, emotional, and social challenges. They find themselves having to make the difficult decision of migrating to other areas where they can sell their labour for income or food. This means that the children are left to nurture, care, become breadwinners, etc. themselves. According to the Ghana National Household registry in 2018 and 2019, over 57% of children (66,520, 42,218) not in school in the Upper East and Upper West regions of Ghana are boys. Whiles this data does not go further to ascertain the percentage of these children who are orphans or have a mother that is widowed. The data is alarming, and we should all be worried.
