International Association for Rural and Urban Development – IARUD

IARUD’s mission is to eliminate poverty, certain health risks, and improve the overall quality of life, through education. The education efforts focus on the most needful members of West African countries. These are primarily at risk young adults, orphans,underprivileged kids and single mothers who lack the support from a husband.
The efforts are to give general education to the young, vocational training to the older, and household home making skills to the mothers. Sadly, many mothers are never taught such basics as home making skills or some aspects of child care. Education on public health threats such as AIDS and STDs are within the scope of IARUD’s efforts as well.
The purpose of IARUD is to take, any action of general interest that can contribute to the development and progress of rural and urban communities in poor countries particularly and in the world in general.
