Ghana needs TRUST laws to stop the theft of its Children’s Inheritance
A young man in Labadi discovered strangers building mansions on land his ancestors kept. Community custodians sold the land to buy cars and fund extravagant lifestyles. In other areas, illegal mining destroys family farms and poisons rivers. These actions leave children with devastation instead of their rightful inheritance.
Imagine this: a twenty-five-year-old in Labadi watches strangers build mansions on land his ancestors preserved. His community’s custodians disposed of it. The proceeds bought cars, funded extravagance and disappeared. He cannot afford a plot. His children will inherit stories about land that should have secured their future. Elsewhere, galamsey swallows a girl’s family farm and poisons their river. Others take the gold. She inherits devastation.
