The African Diaspora Foundation

MESSAGE FROM THE FOUNDER

The African Diaspora Foundation (ADF) was established in 1991 and officially registered on August 17th, 2001, as a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization in the state of California. The ADF was born out of concern for people of African descent globally, who continue to face significant challenges despite some progress in political and economic matters. Historically, people of African descent have often found themselves at the bottom rung of the economic and political ladder, a result not solely of lack of skills or intelligence, but rather of centuries of oppression, including colonization, balkanization, and enslavement.

The ADF aims to address this historical subjugation and uplift African communities worldwide. Despite the global influence of the African Diaspora, insufficient effort has been made to foster Africa's economic, technological, and social progress. The ADF seeks to change this by laying the groundwork for meaningful change.

VISION

The African Diaspora Foundation (ADF) is committed to developing a coalition of national and international leaders and organizations to address critical issues concerning peace, nonviolence, and reconciliation in Africa. As a non-profit organization, ADF has proposed in partnership with United States universities, to develop peace education centers in Los Angeles and in Africa offering a curriculum aimed at overcoming issues that threaten survival in countries affected by conflict. ADF’s plan is that this model program will become an international force in preparing educators for the key task of making peace, nonviolence and reconciliation a working reality.

YOUTH MENTORSHIP

Youth mentoring is the process of matching mentors with young people who need or want a caring, responsible adult in their lives. Adult mentors are usually unrelated to the child or teen and work as volunteers through a community-, school-, or church-based social service program.

EDUCATION IS THE FUTURE

It is widely accepted that most of Africa’s education and training programs suffer from low-quality teaching and learning, as well as inequalities and exclusion at all levels. Even with a substantial increase in the number of children with access to basic education, a large number still remain out of school.
