Welcome toCosmopolitan Aid Foundation
The Cosmopolitan Aid Foundation (CAF), formerly called Mawuena Foundation, was founded by Dr Emmanuel Yao Voado, MD. It is a non-governmental organisation that was established in Ghana as a charitable Trust Deed.
About The Founder/President
Dr Emmanuel Voado, MD, is a Ghanaian neurosurgeon trained in Cuba. He was the medical doctor who first opened a neurosurgical service in the country of Belize. He practised there for 5 years before going to the United States of America, where he resided with his family for 6 years before relocating to Africa in September 2013. He is a Belizean and American citizen by naturalisation.
Born in 1971 to a Christian family of scarce resources in Tefle, Volta Region, Ghana, he always dreamed of breaking the backbone of poverty through education. At the age of 12, he received a prophecy that he would be going abroad to further his studies. In 1985, at 14, the prophecy was fulfilled but not without difficulties. After taking the exams to send students to Cuba, he placed first in his district but was replaced by the son of the most powerful politician of the district. A concerned citizen sent him to the office of President Jerry John Rawlings, where he was allowed to participate in the national test, in which he came first. This event was indeed a shock to many. He was in Cuba for 17 years, right from junior high school to medical school and subsequently to the postgraduate specialist course in Neurosurgery.
