AHEAD, Inc., is an acronym for Adventures in Health, Education,

and Agricultural Development, Incorporated 

AHEAD, Inc was founded in 1981, to provide hands-on, people-to-people assistance and partnerships with rural catastrophically distressed communities to combat malnutrition, disease, extreme poverty, technological deprivation and other conditions that have an adverse impact on the health and welfare of people.  AHEAD continues to make dramatic and palpable differences in the lives of millions of people across the African diapsora and the world communities.  With our dedicated staff in Tanzania and the Gambia and, committed and enthusiastic volunteers from around the world, AHEAD marches into our 27th year growing to help meet the challenges that rural villagers  face as they struggle to exist disease free, with healthy and sutainable food sources, clean drinking water, and educational opportunities.  As one of the oldest African American led organizations partnering on a grassroots level through community-led development in rural  Tanzania and the Gambia,  AHEAD continues to help the communities we serve experience a reversal in disease and deprivation by  implementing sustainable systems that are cost effective, replicable, and ecologically resourceful.
