Message From the Founder:

The concept of ADF was born in 1991 out of the concern that there is a wide gulf among the people of African descent across the globe, whereas, marginal gains hae been made in terms of economic and political emancipation. These gains have not translated into increased economic and political participation of significant proportions.

In almost every society, the people of African descent often constitue the majority at the bottom rung of the economic and political ladder, relative to their overall number in the population. This is not a result of lack of skills or natural intelligence, but rather the consequenes of historical subjugation spanning more than four centuries of oppression.

Our history has been that of a people subjected to have vagaries of international trade and exploitation. There was the slave trade, colonization, and economic exploitation thorough unequal exchange. This historical subjugation has left Africa's people oppressed and their continent in great conflict, both in physical devastation and in terms of human lives taken.

While the African Diaspora span the globe, and embraced the global culture, little effort has gone into building the necessary infrastructure that would promote Africa's economic, technological, social, and political interactions.

If the people of Africa are to enjoy human security and economic opportunities in their homeland, we must build on the necessary infrastructure of durable peace. Peace through education, although it is a long journey, it is the basis of a sustainable infrasturcture for leaders ... our children.
