Co-Founder and Chairman NGO Uhuru4all

Abdul  Mumuni  Sidiq,  born in Accra- Ghana.  Resident in the United States.

Studied at Accra Technical Training Center in Ghana, studied Business Management. He is an entrepreneur and likes to link up with like minded people.

His big dream, however, was to be able to set up a Center for Vocational Training to give young dropouts the opportunity to learn for a better future.

NGO’S Manager and Teacher of the Sewing workshop

Daniel Anabire Ayamga born in Bolgatanga- Northern Ghana. He lost his parents at the age of eight years through accident.

After his primary school, he worked with a Nigerian pastor as a house help where he was able to improve his english language since the Nigerian couple couldn’t speak the local Ghanaian language. They took care of him and enrolled him to be trained as a tailor at the age of 15. He was able to complete the training after four years and obtained his tailors certificate from NVTI after his training.

He teamed up with a friend of his, a shoe repairer and managed to open his own tailoring shop, within five years he was able to build a flourishing business in Dzorwulu -Accra. He unfortunately lost his business because the land on which his shop was located was sold, therefore he had to vacate the place. I (Mariette) met him around that time and asked to become the teacher of the second work shop of the NGO. He has since 2010 been the driving force and teacher for the sewing work shop.

A real self made man

Congratulations of Mr John Konika, National Deputy Director for Informal Apprenticeship of the NVTI to the teacher of the sewing vocation Daniel Ayamga.

Founder NGO Uhuru4all                                                  

Mariëtte Deijen first came to Ghana in 2003.

She helped to build a school in Yaw Sae, which is 40 km from Sunyani with a number of Ghanaian

volunteers. One of the volunteers indicated that he was still training as a tailor with Idi Sidiq. Through Idi she came into contact with Mumuni and in 2007 the idea arose to set up a vocational training for the less fortunate young people from Ghana! It has been a long, hard way to get where they are now in the 10 years that the Foundation was set up! Thanks to the fantastic teacher Daniel and the orders of the Basic Care Foundation !!!
