Anas Aremeyaw Anas is known for his undercover works in and outside Ghana which bothers on serious human rights violation and corruption.
The orphanage- Countryside Children Welfare Home is located in the town of Awutu Bawjiase in the Central Region of Ghana. Anas captured the inhuman treatments the children face in the orphanage in a secret video. The video will soon be broadcast live on Ghana’s national television.
The children are deprived of food, proper health care and above all, punished severely for any least offence committed. They are also made to fast by force and are given only mango and water at the end of the fasting in the evening.
Whereas the children are starving to death, it is said donations such as food items that have been made by benevolent individuals were sold in large quantities to traders by the manageress.
Sex is said to be very common in the orphanage. Some men from the town take advantage of the suffering of the children and lure them for sex at a low price.
