More about Emmanuel’s Dream
The Emmanuel’s Dream Foundation provides hope and a chance to live a healthy, wealthy and happy life to persons with disability in Ghana West Africa who are ignored and sidelined through lobbying for their fundamental human rights and through the establishment of educational and sporting facilities for them.
Through the establishment of disabled cycling and football (soccer) teams in Ghana as well as through the participation by the disabled Founder, Emmanuel Ofosu Yeboah), in many cycling events in the USA we create awareness of the plight of the disabled in Ghana and raise funds to realise the dreams and projects to create a better life for the disabled.
The focus on disabled sports was chosen because the Founder was given the gift of life when his mother refused to have him killed because of his disability and that made him to pledge his life’s work towards creating equality in an extremely inhumane environment where the basic human right to live has been grossly ignored.
