AFRAM GLOBAL ORGANIZTION INC

This programs affords African-American /African Diaspora Immigrants the opportunity to co-learn & build relationships with persons from around the world through their work in the orphanage, school, and/or health clinics. Our volunteers learn interdependence, working in diverse environments, and how to assist in the empowerment of developing communities consistent with the community’s culture. Additionally they learn fund-raising strategies to fund their travel and incidentals related to this trip. Upon their return home to the USA it is expected that they use the lessons learned to make a positive difference in their local underserved communities. This program includes active collaboration with other NGO’s aligned with our mission - most notably Becky’s Foundation in Senya Beraku, Ghana (see: BeckysFoundation.org)

The program model is designed to expand the visibility of small and emerging community-based programs,projects, and individually based ideas that have the potential to make a significant positive and replicable impact at the grassroots level. There are many persons with good ideas but without support.
Among other things, our program concept assures that children from underprivileged circumstances have the opportunity to experience different surroundings and ways of seeing the world. We believe if they can be exposed to possibilities, they will be better equipped to benefit from such opportunities. We open the door to internal family conversations about possibilities. The goal is to provide experiences that give insight into life's possibilities, and assist in turning program and project ideas into realities.

This is a partnership/collaborative project designed to provide African-American and African immigrant youth with the opportunity to build an awareness of lifting their communities with the caring concern model of a interdependent village. Participants are connected with counterparts in Senya Ghana at Becky's Orphanage , and upon determination of need the youth volunteers work together to collect clothing, school supplies and other identified items; coordinate with the local community to identify resources for transporting the donated items to the orphanage, and share their experiences with the local Philadelphia community as a teaching/learning exercise. This program is coordinated as a collaborative pilot project conceived of and directed by Linda Richardson, a talented development professional and nonprofit leader. Seth Asiedu is the Director at Becky's Orphanage in Ghana and serves as an advisor and liaison.

Goal: To facilitate community gatherings in which persons from the community can bring their education and work back to the community and receive community feedback as to its relevance.
The Scholars Within Projects were launched with the realization that even those of us from underrepresented groups often discount the value of our community's knowledge. ...Subsequently we silence the communities and their insights, and we share our research outside the community but seldom inside the communities in a meaningful way. Our silence perpetuates disparities. This “scholars within” program aims to change that reality.

Goal: To provide encouragement, support, and connections for emerging grassroots and community-based nonprofit groups.
Every person has the potential to mentor in one way or another, and to become a hub creating ever-expanding Villages of Mentors. We meet with interested community members and assist them in identifying their strengths, their potential, and how to mobilize these assets. The whole community becomes involved to include hairdressers, barbers, grocers, places of worship, business people, school counselors, relatives,
neighbors, politicians, organizations, schools, etc.

The first Village of Mentors was hosted at California State University Dominguez Hills, School of Nursing and co-sponsored by Psi Eta Chapter, Chi Eta Phi Nursing Sorority Inc.


Goal: To facilitate the development of "Villages of Mentors" within local communities, concerned organizations, schools, etc.

"The Standing in The Gap" projects are based on the premise that persons from underprivileged, underserved, and underrepresented circumstances often do not have the guidance and "pick up the phone connections" available to persons from more privileged backgrounds. Although we realize that the gap may be wide, we feel that it can be narrowed by providing/connecting them to people, circumstances, and information that will be useful to them. We understand that these connections if left up to mere chance, might never occur.
Goal: To assist persons from underprivileged, underserved, underrepresented circumstances to gain access to the information, experiences, and connections necessary to move into leadership and policy-making positions that will positively impact on the success of others in similar situations..
