I’m grateful and thankful to all who took their time to visit and liked my page. I do understand why lots will like to know why the name mafanam. . During a review of our research we realized that about 99% of children and youth with disabilities have become only the responsibility of their mothers/grandmothers. Therefore the name mafanam means “my mama cares” in Ewe a local language spoken in Ghana. Benjamin Amewornu in response to a personal family experience (not a disabled person but having a mother who cares) that resulted in the desire to influence long-term sustainable change in the disability sector. “Even if the community doesn’t care I know my mama cares!!”

Now our website is active (www.mafanam.org) and you can visit us for more information on our projects for children and youth with disabilities.
