Who We Are
ADF supports communities to identify needs and co‑create solutions. Awdal has huge potential in its youth, yet unemployment exceeds 80%. ADF provides a haven for young people seeking solid opportunities while strengthening existing sectors like farming, salt mining, and fishing.
A principal project is building schools and clinics for remote areas, bringing access to education and health typically found only in cities. With support from the Diaspora and people at home, ADF focuses on sustainability, humanitarianism, and ethical development to help Awdal progress with the rest of the world.
