02 Purpose and work
What the charity exists to do
'To raise awareness and mobilise resources on issues affecting development of Africans and to work in collaboration with grass root organisations to ensure Africans reach their full development potential.' ASDO is an African initiated and African led organisation for the development of Africans in the developing and developed world. A lot of funding in the developing world gets swallowed up in administrative costs, bureaucracies and protocols and does not reach the people on the grass roots that actually need the funds. ASDO aims to use less than 8% of funding in overhead costs as we would be working in collaboration with other grass root organisations world wide. Most of the administrative work will be done on line in order to save costs. ASDO will work directly with registered grass root organisations in developing world and Africans in diasporas to develop in the areas of health, education and culture.
