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.
