New adventures, new mission. I have co-founded and am working on a project in Ghana, West Africa to help protect homeless Kayayo girls. These are girls as young as 12 who migrate from their villages to the big cities in order to find work and often find  themselves homeless and vulnerable.  My good friend Edward Oduro is the director of the project. We both see this situation as a problem in terms of women’s rights and health due to the girls vulnerability to sexual assault. We would like to create a space to provide protection and access to health care for them.  For more information visit www.PMFghana.org.
