Streetism has been a cause to worry for many Ghanaians as to what can be done to remove the children from the street.

Many have called on the government to put in measures to curb the menace whilst others believe that the well-to-do members of the society can help cater for the street children and evacuate them from the street. 

It is for this reason that a security expert, who doubles as CEO for the Jewels Foundation, Mr. Franklyn Leonard has taken it upon himself to educate ''kayaye'' girls and guide them to succeed in life.

Speaking on Peace News, Mr. Franklyn Leonard said, "he always gets hurt when he sees young girls on the street hustling without helpers, hence the establishment of the JEWEL ON THE STREET project two years ago where he selected 20 young female kayayes on the street, house them, put them into school and as well provide their needs in school and home".

Mr. Franklyn Leonard commended GH Media School for admitting the 20 girls and providing free tuition for them with some graduating this year. 

He called on the general public to come onboard and help remove the street children as the second edition of the ''Jewel on the Street'' seeks to take 50 more female Kayayes from the street.
