The establishment of the
Messianic Ambassadors for
Africa (MAFA) was based
on the Biblical principles of
Psalms 68:31 which reads
“Ambassadors shall
come out of Egypt, Ethiopia shall soon
stretch out her arms unto God” NIV
Version. According to their geographical fix
and history, Egypt and Ethiopia are emblems
of Africa and the genesis of life and
civilization. But this same Africa has gone
through and continues to face brutal
challenges in this contemporary world.
Therefore, if the continent is to be
emancipated it must start with Africans who
must serve as ambassadors to the external
world, and we choose to do so through faith-
based intervention hence the name:
Messianic Ambassadors for Africa
(MAFA), which was founded by Sister
Veronica Wisdom Conteh in April, 2002.
About 600 million children worldwide are
growing up in absolute poverty. Over ten
million under five years of age die every year.
Nearly 1 billion children will be growing up
with impaired mental development by 2020
(Source: Institute of Development Studies
id21 insights #56 July 2005).
Childhood poverty has significant and long-
term implications. By the age of five we have
laid our mental groundwork, perceptions,
emotions, desires and feelings for how we
essentially will be 20 or 30 years later. By 10
years our capacity for basic learning has been
determined. By age 15 our body size,
reproductive potentials and general health has
been greatly influenced by what has happen
to us thus far.
Stunting in children cannot be reversed.
Children cannot recover from preventable
disabilities, nor can they fully reclaim the first
15 years of growth and development latter on
in life.
Since everything from brain connection to
employment potential is laid down in these
formative years. Our investment in Child
well-being; Health; Education and Research is
not only a social and moral imperative but
also a logical economic sound investment
strategy. Tackling childhood poverty and its
transmission over generation and over a live
course is the way to addressing chronic adult
poverty.
