Our History

Our History

AIDU North America, founded in 2002 by 4 original members was created as a means to bring together indigenous citizens of Ajasse Ipo in the United States. The original members often had meetings to stay in touch with one another. As time went on and the membership grew, their vision changed. In 2011, AIDU had a resurgence in membership. The members made a solid commitment to helping the people in need of Ajasse Ipo. Donations started coming in and provided opportunities to serve Ajasse Ipo. To start, the members assisted with the upkeep of Ajasse Ipo High School, including lawn maintenance and purchasing a xerox machine and books for the school with a promise to do more.

2013
AIDU, North America Fundraiser

On Saturday September 21st, 2013, members had a fundraiser to renovate the Ajasse Ipo Healthcare Center and clinic which had been left in a dilapidated condition for a long time. The money raised was used to renovate the health care center and clinic; a project that was finished in 2014.

2014
Mission

On November 22nd, 2014, AIDU also launched a medical mission to Ajasse Ipo in conjunction with the reopening of the newly renovated health care center and clinic which was accomplished by a group of our doctors and members who traveled down to Ajasse Ipo to help give medical check ups and examinations to the people of Ajasse Ipo. More than 2000 patients were seen and attended to. As a result, there is a need to repeat this mission as often as funds will permit.

Future Plans for AIDU, North America

1. School Renovation

We plan to renovate Ajasse Ipo High School which has been left in deplorable conditions for many years even while students still attend the school. It used to be one of the best high schools in the state of Kwara, Nigeria, but has been neglected and unattended to.

2. Education Wellness for Students

AIDU also intends to help the public school students by providing them with education scholarships, books, materials, school supplies, clothing, and a proper environment for learning. We believe ensuring an ideal learning environment will not only help the students, but will make them productive citizens in the future anywhere they choose to go.

We hope to accomplish these goals and more into the future. Please support us to acheive these goals by donating using the link below.
