All African People's Development & Empowerment Project (AAPDEP)

Uhuru! Family, Friends & Colleagues,

As many of you already know, I have been leading an effort to build the All African People's Development & Empowerment Project (AAPDEP). AAPDEP has as its primary task to organize African scientists, engineers, healthcare workers and other skilled Africans to participate in various development projects throughout Africa and in African communities worldwide.

AAPDEP's projects are done in collaboration with grassroots African organizations that are engaged in organizing our people to overturn the conditions responsible for the masses of African people living in abject poverty despite Africa's immense wealth. Spearheaded by Africans for Africans, AAPDEP's work is one component of a revolutionary strategy aimed at transforming the dismal reality of Africans everywhere and forwarding true self-determination for African people.

AAPDEP is currently involved in several clean water, agricultural and health care initiatives in Sierra Leone and Zimbabwe. In March of this year, several members of AAPDEP's technical volunteer formation known as the African Corps of Engineers, Scientists & Healthcare workers (ACESH) will be traveling to Sierra Leone to implement two rainwater harvesting systems and begin community-wide trainings on how to prevent, identify and treat waterborne diseases. We need your help to raise the thousands of dollars necessary to make these projects happen.

I will be traveling throughout the country to meet with Africans in their homes, schools, mosques, churches, community centers and elsewhere in order to share information about AAPDEP's work, win participation in its projects and raise much-needed resources. If you receive this email from someone who is already hosting a fundraiser, I would urge you to accept their invitation and come ready to give as much as you are able! If there is no fundraiser scheduled in your area, please consider hosting one yourself. You can email me directly at aisha@developmentforafrica.org if you'd like to organize a gathering.

It is up to us as African people to do what is necessary to change the horrible conditions that have been imposed on Africa and African communities everywhere! Please support these important projects for African self-determination.

I look forward to seeing you all at an AAPDEP fundraising gathering soon!

One Africa! One Nation!
