One Africa Travel Fund urgently needs your support for Uhuru Movement trip to Sierra Leone for AAPDEP conference and trainings
The area of Africa called Sierra Leone has some of the most beautiful diamonds in the world. It has oil, bauxite, tin, fertile land and fishing. By rights, African people should have among the highest standard of living in the world. But 75 percent of the people of Sierra Leone are forced to live on less than a dollar a day. The legacy of hundreds of years of turning African people into a commodity in what is called the slave trade and colonialism, which brutally bled us dry for the benefit of others, has not ended. U.S. and European interests still plunder and oppress us behind African politicians fronting for white power in black face. Nurse Mary Koroma, the director of AAPDEP in Sierra Leone, has delivered thousands of healthy babies despite conditions of extreme poverty. She has never lost a baby or mother. AAPDEP is a unique organization It is not just about delivering thriving babies from healthy mothers and it is not about charity. AAPDEP is part of a strategy to unite Africa and African people everywhere to liberate Africa and use all of our natural resources for the benefit of African people. In Sierra Leone AAPDEP has created people’s self-sufficiency programs to support the health care workers and mothers: cassava farms, a School of Nursing and a Vocational and Nursery School. In June, International AAPDEP Director Aisha Fields, along with African Socialist International Secretary General Luwezi Kinshasa and InPDUM President Diop Olugbala are scheduled to travel to Sierra Leone. They will hold conferences and trainings with AAPDEP and InPDUM members to broaden and strengthen our programs there. Thousands of dollars are still needed Thousands of dollars are still needed to make this trip a success and to grow AAPDEP and all of the Uhuru Movement’s self reliance programs for liberation. The Sierra Leone trip is just the first leg of the Tour. Requests are coming in daily from throughout Africa from people who want to build the movement. They are requesting on-the-ground leadership from the African People's Socialist Party (APSP) and APSP organizations for trainings and education to build the movement and programs. Self-determination: this is what it takes to provide a prosperous and healthy future for African babies and mothers and all of our people. ![]() Or mail a contribution.
