X+Ar•bi•b (hihenj Ce•tr Introductlon Kokrobr(e is a fishing community to the west of Accrd. Ghana. There is a lack of educ2tion here with the greater part of the communty depending on f￿hing fortheir livelihood. This is not reliable and does not guarantee an income. Many of the thiklren in Kokrobite do not attend school due to the cost of unrforms, shoes, books and daily food. An addltlonal problem is caused by the parents not appreaating the value of an education having had no formal education themselves. Parents a￿ ￿lUctant to send their children to school rfthere is an opportunityforthem to do somethingthatwill help to generate income for the family. When this ￿ not the case the children spend the greater part of the day hanging around the streets or on the beach.
