To make life a little easier for himself, he resulted to working as a ‘wind screen cleaner’, a venture which is characterized with so much risk.

 

Narrating his life experience on the streets, Hansen said, he makes an average returns of Ghc50 a week, but as a teenage father and bread winner for the rest of the family, he’s got to give out Ghc20.00 every two days to enable the daily up keep of his child and also send an amount for the fending of his little sibling.

 

Hansen pays for rent of Ghc10 daily to enable a roof over his head and that of his younger sister who also has a child but in the custody of her in-laws.

Young Hansen also reiterated the fact that, once in a while, certain folks like Stonebwoy, Shatta Wale and other popular figures, do give him and his colleagues on the street some amount to share when they pass by the road, but this doesn’t often get to all of them as a result of bullying from the elderly street boys.

 

Hansen has no choice than to keep up with the hustle on the streets even though at some point in time, he gets injured by cars he attends to.
