About Us

Ferdinand Effah Music Heritage Foundation is a non-profit charity organization that is registered with the Corporate Affairs Commission of Nigeria (Reg. Number: 174145) to help support and develop people with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) into becoming self-reliant,  through the engagement of music as a focal therapy.

The idea behind the establishment of the foundation was prompted out of the character and personality of the person of Master Ferdinand Effah who was diagnosed of ASD at an early age; and has since then been struggling with the condition without considerable success, until the introduction of music, where his passion to listening has always lie, especially ever since the family became members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.

Conveying music as a career pathway was not just to make him listen, but to get him play; and playing it especially to the listening of an audience that could assess and appreciate the values he brings in terms of patience, resilience, commitment, and hard work; despite all odds.

 With the introduction of music as a focal therapy, he gradually developed  the passion (to play) from one stage to another, until a period where that passion became stable; and from being stable, it became strength, and from strength, it has come to remained an almost none-spatial formula in his therapy on ASD.

Today! We take pride in the stride he has made within the period of this journey in the struggle against ASD, especially by the stable passion he has been able to develop in music, as he continue to signal hope to several others in such similar state of concern.
