Why ADDI?
We have come to the realization that the current status of the African economy is due to the mass exodus of the African Diaspora out of Africa. This exodus began with the loss of Africa's children through slavery 400 years ago, followed by the recent Migrants who left Africa in search of greener pastures or running away from famine and wars.
The children of Africa have ended up in the Americas, Caribbean, Australia, New Zealand, Europe, Asia, and Canada. African Heads of State are calling on all people of African Descent (African Diaspora) to come back home and build the Africa we want.
