Our Local Programs

Our local programs are designed to:

  • Provide cultural adjustment and skill enhancement training to African immigrants in the Washington DC metropolitan areas
  • Implement knowledge transfer initiatives from the African Diaspora
  • Mobilize resources and create partnerships locally and abroad to strengthen and build the capacity of non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and community based organizations (CBOs)

So far, we have conducted three workshops and had 30-interested African immigrants who took advantage of our workshop.

Future Schedules will be posted in February of 2005

Internatioanl Programs

Our International Programs are designed to establish intervention programs in African countries particularly those hardest hit by poverty and infectious diseases which cause the highest mortality rates such as malaria, tuberculosis, pneumonia and the HIV/AIDS pandemic with a specific goal to save the children of Africa.

We focus on health, education, poverty reduction and self-governance. We will also create partnerships with indigenous and other international organizations to strengthen and build the capacity of local Non-Governmental (NGO) and Community Based Organizations (CBO).
