Donate: All African People's Development and Empowerment Project (AAPDEP)

Thank you for your interest in the All African People's Development and Empowerment Project (AAPDEP), an organization of the African People's Socialist Party. One of the primary goals of AAPDEP is to use the collective energy, skill and expertise of Africans wherever they are located and to include others with skills who are willing to work under the guidelines of this project, to offer their skills for the development of Africa and African communities throughout the world.

The most important features of this project that distinguish it from other approaches are:

• It is spearheaded by Africans for Africans - true self determination.
• It is organized by the highly trained and skilled sector of the African population who would otherwise use their skills to advance development in their respective countries that often times are engaged in the exploitation of Africa.
• It is NOT charity – the most popular and accepted way of dealing with the objective conditions in Africa - as this approach demoralizes Africans everywhere, the recipients as well as other African people who witness it. AAPDEP is designed to train, develop and empower the Africans who participate in the projects to duplicate and run the programs we develop. It is a revolutionary strategy aimed at transforming the dismal reality of Africans everywhere and forwarding true self-determination for African people.

Current AAPDEP projects focus on renewable energy electrification, rainwater harvesting, well- building, water purification, ecological sanitation, farming and community health workers training.

Why is AAPDEP necessary?

With an abundance of agricultural, mineral, oil and other wealth, Africa is the richest continent on Earth! Nevertheless, African people world wide - from Brooklyn to Brazil, Guinea to Guyana - are forced to live in abject poverty. This imposed poverty is rooted in an attack on Africa that manifested itself as the forced dispersal and enslavement of African people, colonialism and current day neo-colonialism. As a result of this attack, African people everywhere have been separated from our resources and each other while our land, labor and vast natural wealth are being used to build Europe, the US and other imperialist nations.

Self-Determination, Not Charity!

The future of African people everywhere is tied to our ability to unite our resources with our skills.

The All African People's Development and Empowerment Project was developed by the African People's Socialist Party (www.apspuhuru.org) as part of a strategy to win true and lasting self-determination for African people worldwide. We understand that the underlying cause for the crisis that exists in the African world is due to the imperialist exploitation and purposeful underdevelopment of Africa and African communities everywhere by the US and Europe who effectively control our resources (wealth).
