OVERVIEW
Research and Counseling Foundation for African Migrants (RECFAM) was established in 2004 as a Non-Governmental Organization in Ghana and now has branches in Cameroon, USA – 501c3 and Nigeria – well versed in the field of women/children empowerment, migration and development.
RECFAM conducts evidence-based quantitative and qualitative research that raises awareness of the motivating factors underpinning development, women/children empowerment, irregular migration, human trafficking, child abuse among others. Based on the outcome of the research, the organization develops pragmatic sustainable approaches to counter these social problems and works in close collaboration with various stakeholders, Government and Non-Governmental Organizations to provide comprehensive solutions for the benefit of all.
The organization promote Entrepreneurship for Sustainable Development. For example, RECFAM produces organic and biodegradable sanitary pads – PRIDE Pads out of banana and plantain fibre for school girls and women in Ghana. This is a transcendent philosophy that empowers women at every step in the process through job creation, leadership training, education and social entrepreneurship (www.pridepadghana.org).
