The name SAMFAUS is coined from the names of the founders,
Mr. William SAMuel Kyeremeh and his wife Mrs. FAUStina

It is our vision to build a society that meets basic needs and
allows for the full participation of its members. Within this
society people are able to gain greater control over their lives and
develop the skills to realise their full potential. In achieving
this personal development, individuals are able to contribute their
unique talents and skills to the betterment of their community. This
will lead to the creation of a society that is open to the active
participation of its members and promotes the peaceful co-existence
of all tribes, ethnicities, and religions.
