Mawuli Mensah was born into a humble family where he grew with a single disabled mother. As he grew up, he watched his mother engaged herself in sewing, petty-trading and backyard farming with little and sometimes no help from others. This way, he learnt practically from his mother that disability was not inability. He was impacted positively, motivated and highly encouraged to work hard. Catching the spirit of industry, creativity and problem-solving in childhood from home, he learned to work hard against all odds to produce results out of every situation he finds himself.
