ALAD

The African Literacy Art and Development Association (ALAD) is a dynamic 501(c)(3) non-profit organization whose Board of Directors collectively has more than 400 years of professional experience working in Africa. The main focus of ALAD is to help make the communities of rural Ghana, West Africa, self-sustaining places to live by promoting literacy and small business development.

ALAD’s OBJECTIVES

  • Empower the poor in rural areas through developing libraries, pre-school centers and maintaining literacy centers and programs.

  • Develop community, small-scale businesses to generate cash income and employment to improve the community’s living standards. A portion of net income is set aside to maintain the community’s library, pre-school and literacy centers and other social services projects.

  • Enhance Americans’ literacy of African culture and history through projects which utilize contemporary and traditional African art to build awareness of the peoples of Africa.

We are a group of like minded individuals from various backgrounds and countries. We solicit donations to promote the project ALAD sponsor in the rural communities in Ghana;  one hundred percent (100%) of all donations go directly to the implementation of these projects.

Your contribution to ALAD will:

  • Promote community self-help which fosters literacy and empowerment.

  • Develop cash income generating enterprises, conceived and implemented by local people and local institutions.

  • Educate American communities about the history and culture of Africa.

Please make your tax deductible contribution to ALAD  to assist us in our efforts.
