How we got here
Originally from Ghana in the western part of Africa, Kwesi and Henrietta share a total of 42 years of working with children and adults who have special needs. Henrietta herself lives with long-term health conditions which have left her with physical disability (limited mobility) and requires support on a daily basis. They have two teenagers who have both been diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder and associated conditions and receive significant support from various professionals. Henrietta and Kwesi saw a collective need to create a Community Interest Company that would provide great care and support for families in similar situations because it has been a challenging journey living in their communities.
