MALTITI CHILD FOUNDATION, which is also known as MCF, is a voluntary and community based outreach organization, registered in Ghana with an authorized business to engaged in lobbying and advocacy for Child Rights and development.
The term Maltiti is a common phrase in Northern Ghana meaning
"Support us to Develop".
MCF became fully incorporated in January 2005, through the efforts of Ibrahim Abdallah (Prince).
The need for establishing this organization was found after a regional participatory research appraisal, of the trend of events in Northern Ghana and the World at large.
The core issues, with particular reference to the plight of rural children who are marginalized and deprived of basic rights and necessities, required for their social upbringing and livelihood. Since urban children enjoy the prospects of good livelihood from good urban amenities and social infrastructure to the neglect of rural children, MCF seek to bridge this gap to a minimum by advocating for support to the rural child through a number of programs and activities.
This includes awareness creation, lobbying for the provision of educational materials, access to quality basic education and encourages enhanced vocational training. This will enable them to become responsible citizens and meaningfully participate in social and economic programs in their rural Communities.
