Our Projects

AHEAD is committed to making healthcare, education, and economic empowerment accessible to as many Africans as possible. Some of the initial projects we will tackle include but are not limited to:

Healthcare.

AHEAD is committed to making healthcare accessible to as many African communities as possible by:

  1. Building, staffing and maintaining health centers in remote areas where even the basic healthcare needs are not met.

  2. Partnering with health organizations in the US to offer other forms of medical assistance such as medical equipment to hospitals and clinics in urban areas as well as assistance in the area of preventive medicine e.g. vaccines.

Education.

AHEAD aims to contribute to universal access to education by:

  1. Building modern schools in rural West Africa that are respectful of local cultures.

  2. Introducing and leveraging the use of technology to reach as many people as possible.

  3. Providing financial assistance/scholarship programs for less fortunate African children. 

Development.

AHEAD is committed to support communities and individuals for economic empowerment by:

  1. Providing skill development and apprenticeship programs to empower them in becoming self-sufficient.

  2. Using Africa’s vast but underdeveloped potential in agriculture to remove farmers from the cycle of poverty, and generate income for the self-reliant.
