Child Trafficking in Ghana

I couldn't believe that Ghana, a western African country could possibly solve their problems by Child Trafficking. In Ghana there are children being smuggled or being transported to work in Farms of cocoa bean for hours. The only reason for this problem is to get money out of it to probably help with the groceries and etc.

This can have a negative impact on the children especially at a young age. Because they won't have an education during their childhood days. When they grow up to be mature young adults they won't know how to read or do the math because they were troubled with working on the farm. Some parents won't let their children eat as well, if they won't go to work at the cocoa farms.

So the government is currently trying to resolve this issue from happening to our young generation. Because buyers or companies are too into chocolate they would need the cocoa beans, and that causes child trafficking. But if farmers join the Unions of Fair trade they would get a fair price from the cocoa beans, and the profits would go back into the community.
