The All African People's Development and Empowerment Project is an African-led, communitiy based iniative, building electrical, water purification and other types of infrastructure throughout the African world. The project envisions improved conditions, sustainability and true economic independence for African people.
It is a fact that the western world continues to steal over 90% of Africa’s resources. With the theft of oil, diamonds, bauxite, gold, coltan, and countless other valuable commodities, imperialist powers have been able to supply their citizens with prosperity at the expense of African people. It is through this extraction of resources that the African working class and poor peasantry lack adequate access to water, electricity, and other essentials.
Continuing in its decades-long mission to promote democracy and freedom for Africans throughout the world, the African People’s Socialist Party has created a program in which Africans trained in engineering, science, and healthcare can bring together their resources to benefit African people around the globe. The All African People’s Development and Empowerment Project (AAPDEP) exists to establish programs on the continent of Africa and wherever African people are, that will enable them to control and benefit from their own resources and labor. Instead of relying on western NGO’s and philanthropists, AAPDEP will build the capacity of African workers themselves to transform the conditions imposed on them by imperialism and to realize a united, independent and healthy Africa.
One crucial component of AAPDEP is the creation of the African Corps of Engineers, Scientists, and Healthcare Workers (ACESH). This organization is open to Africans who have obtained skills in any of these fields, and who are willing to unite with the Uhuru Movement’s goals of African unity and self-determination.
These projects will bring trained African scientists to communities on the continent that lack essentials. Initial plans are in place to improve the water quality, farming practices, electricity generation, and health care in counties such as Sierra Leone and Zimbabwe. AAPDEP will utilize environmentally-friendly, sustainable solutions to assure safe, free access to resources. Filtration of rainwater will provide a cheap, effective method of allowing African people access to an essential resource that their neocolonial governments do not provide for them. In addition, solar, micro-hydro, and wind power are being explored as options for generation of electricity in African communities. With these resources will come political education and a revolutionary consciousness that will enable widespread change of conditions in Africa.
For white people who want to see an end to war and poverty in Africa and elsewhere, the solution is solidarity, not charity. Africans - and all oppressed peoples - must control their own land, resources and destiny. Donating to AAPDEP is one way to express your solidarity with that goal, and take a principled stand against the conditions imposed by imperialism.

It is exactly that thieving economic system that helps to pay the fat corrupt NGO/charity workers( inc. 'green entrepeneurs'(sic) and property/money speculators in the West.No wonder London iscurrently the most corrupt money-laundering city on Earth:- it is the heart of capitalism and it is why capitalists flock over here fropmall over the planet helping to ensure a widen ing rich/poor divide here too.The main middle England voting scum ( those who have voted for theft and global war and maintain the illusion of democracy along with the media whores ) as well as NGO workers ( employing each other and making sure there is an underclass here too after wrecking this country - how's your cleaners? ) all rely on a system that steals resources globally and payment for policing others and shuffling paper and 1's and 0s around the globe.
Hence the disgusting spectacle of the rich and theior idiotic followers of the rascist make poverty history et al. Africa doesn't need these nasty waste of bourgoius spaces from the west nor the western guns. I will extrapolate on this later.
Good luck with your endevour.
