Mawuko Outreach Ghana
Dr. Adusu has been a passionate and tireless advocate for children with cerebral palsy in Ghana through his longstanding work through Mawuko Outreach Ghana and the Salvation Army Ghana Territory.
Over the years, his work has focused on driving systemic changes in the support services available to these children, who often face significant barriers to accessing quality care and education.
Through partnering closely with the Salvation Army Ghana Territory, Dr. Adusu has helped to strengthen and expand the range of services offered to children with cerebral palsy.
This collaboration has emphasized not only direct care but also community awareness, early intervention, and caregiver education—key components that contribute to improved outcomes and quality of life for these children.
A critical aspect of Dr. Adusu’s advocacy has been fundraising efforts aimed at sustaining and growing these vital services.
The funds raised have enabled the Salvation Army to provide specialized therapies, assistive devices, and inclusive educational programs tailored to the unique needs of children with cerebral palsy.
This financial support has also facilitated training for healthcare workers and caregivers, ensuring that children receive compassionate, informed care within their communities.
The impact of these efforts is profound. Many children living with cerebral palsy in Ghana have gained access to services that were previously unavailable or limited, allowing them to develop their potential and participate more fully in society.
Families have been empowered with knowledge and resources, reducing isolation and improving their ability to support their children’s development.
Dr. Adusu’s work with Mawuko Outreach Ghana and the Salvation Army Ghana Territory exemplifies how dedicated advocacy, strategic partnerships, and targeted fundraising can create meaningful, lasting change in the lives of vulnerable children.
His commitment continues to inspire progress toward a more inclusive and supportive environment for children with cerebral palsy across Ghana.
