About [Edit]
Africatrust has been committed to working with disadvantaged young people in North and West Africa and to helping enthustiastic international volunteers gain valuable work-experience in Africa whilst making a real difference. Africatrust is a not-for-profit organisation which invites volunteers to stay with host families in their projects. Africatrust is different from many other volunteer work organisation in Africa in that Africatrust has an obligatory post arrival in-country induction course covering language, culture, music, history/politics and general knowledge. The concept of having "A Bridge" linking cultures is still fundamental to the programme.

We write to introduce the African Peace and Democratic Institute (APDI) concept and search for collaborations, affiliations and contributions from like minded Foundations, institutions and individuals worldwide towards the implementation of the project in Cameroon that will stimulate development and economic growth within the continent by providing the much need foundation of Peace and stability through professional Training and technical support to Non governmental organisations, local governments and individuals in Africa.
Why the African Peace and Democratic Institute?
The African Peace and Democratic Institute project is coming as a result of several years of working experience and observations made as concerns poverty alleviation struggle in Africa. The project was originally conceived as a Development Resource Centre supporting development in Cameroon since 2002. It has since grown in the number of programs it offers. The number of persons seeking our programs, the number of volunteers working for the project and the realistic impact of the program to our local development drive has created the need for an expansion and restructuring to support a bigger number of Africans seeking to under training in Peace building, conflict management and development studies. Limited by space and funds, we started a campaign in 2004 to expand the program to an African Peace and Democratic Institute (APDI) to support Peace, Democracy and Development effort across the continent by providing skill training, networking, thereby promoting an acceptable and conducive environment for the work of national and international development partners to have lasting and sustainable impact in the continent.
Please kindly let me know which way we can work with your structure on this project.
Hope to read from you again
sincerely
