OUR IMPACT (ASDF) BOTH LOCAL, NATIONAL AND ABROAD
Our objective is to provide necessities, resources, tools, products, opportunities that we believe make a real impact in these targeted communities regarding immigrants and refugees in Colorado and beyond, USA; as well as internationally particularly in South Sudan . Our passion is to make a real difference in the lives of those who are less fortunate in our societies especially the ones that impact by poverty on the local and even international arenas.
Social servicefs, needs, and Health care programme
Currently the ASDF is working in Colorado with the immigrant communities and refugees. It also plans to do projects in northeastern and southeastern parts of South Sudan and western Ethiopia to serve the refugees and displaced people of the refugees and hosting communities. The focus is in Wanding, Kanyakanya, displaced people and Gambella Region and its surrounding areas along the South Sudan border. As there are over 500,000 refugees and tens of thousands of under-served people within this region that lack the most basic human necessities and services which limit their opportunities at a better life.
Water Project
ASDF understands that clean water is the foundation to health and disease prevention. There are crippled or no adequate sanitation/hygiene at existing and non-existing clean water system in the place nor ever been addressed.
Education & Educational Missions
As we strive to provide education, educational effort and empowerment integrated with financial education and so social economic development to the African immigrant communities and refugees here in Colorado and also the people of Africa, our mission is to improve literacy, financial education, services, and provides resources, tools, products and educational hubs while empowering children adolescents, young girls, and womem, and men starts in South Sudan and southwestern part of Ethiopia Region.
Building Economics Through Micro-Businesses, Entrepreneurial Development & Education Systems Is The Only Ways
Both African immigrant and refugees in Colorado, USA or nationally within the USA and abroad certainly need all kinds of needs and opportunities including services, jobs, education, financial literacy, small business development and other necessities that will enable them to develop their communities. In 2021, we have proposed initiatives and projects that both African communities in Colorado or USA and abroad desire to have, that are transportation project, services, and a few other initiatives that we strongly feel will generate income for the organization in which we could support our missions and projects as we continue to use other innovative methods and ways to get funding for our projects and staffing infrastructure.

Where We Work
ASDF worked in South Sudan prior to the breakout of civil war. However the recent war has driven most NGOs out of the country. As a result ASDF has made the decision to start working in the Gambella region of Ethiopia, which borders South Sudan where as many as over 500,000 people fleeing the war in South Sudan now call home. There are at least five camps currently operating in the Gambella region.
