Martey
Martey
Martey and his sisters Selom and Francesca were under the care of their mentally ill mother who would leave them unattended for days at a time. Social welfare intervened and the children were removed from this dangerous and unhealthy situation. The trio joined Rafiki Village Ghana in November 2003 and have adjusted well. Their mother gave birth to another boy, Emmanuel, in 2004 who came to Rafiki in 2009.
