The ADF Peace Library and Research Center has its genesis with the proposed King-Luthuli Transformation Center Peace Library and Distance Learning Center based on a resolution at a June 22-29, 2003 peace conference in Johannesburg, South Africa sponsored by ADF, the King-Luthuli Transformation Center, and the South African Council of Churches.
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.
African Diaspora is the term commonly used to describe the mass dispersion of peoples from Africa during the Transatlantic Slave Trades, from the 1500s to the 1800s. This Diaspora took millions of people from Western and Central Africa to different regions throughout the Americas and the Caribbean.
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.
