Kwanzaa has seven core principles: Umoja – Unity;
Kujichagulia - Self-Determination; Ujima – Collective work
and Responsibility; Ujamaa – Cooperative Economics; Nia –
Purpose; Kuumba – Creativity; and Imani – Faith. Africa
House Global LLC has adopted these principles!
In this age of uncertainty, our neighborhoods are under
attack by the scourge of the drug culture. Our schools are
under-funded, many of our students are illiterate when they
graduate and joblessness is soaring.
In the United States alone people of color have a purchasing
power of approximately $1.3 trillion. When you add that to
the worldwide spending power of nations such as the 54
countries that make up the African Continent, Brazil, member
nations that make up CARICOM in the Caribbean, and the many
other countries throughout the world with significant black
populations such as Great Britain, Canada, Central America,
other South American Countries, and beyond; you have a
tremendous amount of purchasing power to harness, as well as
a huge manufacturing base!
People of color will never
have any REAL power unless they have ECONOMIC power. And we
DO have power – over $3 trillion of GDP in Africa, and at
least another trillion and a half in the US, Caribbean and
elsewhere. But if we don’t unite together and start looking
out for our OWN economic interests, we will get sidelined
again by the huge multinationals like Amazon and Alibaba;
companies that are making hardly any investment in our
communities, if any at all. Making that investment in our
future is what Africa House Global is all about.
The economies of Africa
and the Caribbean are entering a golden age. Economic growth
across both regions is above the world average, and private
foreign direct investment into Africa is at record levels.
With a population nearly equal to China and India COMBINED,
corporations are waking up to the huge spending power of
Africa’s new middle class. People of color in America are
likewise prospering. If African Americans were our own
country, we would be the 15th richest country in the world.
So, what is the problem?
Hundreds of millions of people of color are being completely
left behind. Multinationals are making huge profits in
Africa, while millions of people there still have no safe
drinking water, hundreds of thousands are dying from
water-borne illnesses, and 40 billion hours are wasted every
year collecting water. Here in America, the richest country
history has ever known, an entire generation of young black
men is being channeled straight from high school to prison
by a system that has utterly failed them. If record
prosperity across the world hasn’t helped those left behind,
and hasn’t given them hope, what will?
We have nothing against
the giant corporations like Amazon and Alibaba, which seem
to be going so large, they are like governments. But I
promise you, they are only about profits. They won’t stick
out their necks to help our people.
If we are to have a
future, we must do what black people have always done; we
must stick together. Africa House Global is a group of
committed individuals, entrepreneurs and businesses
committed to pouring back a very large portion of AHG’s
profits into projects that serve disadvantaged people of
color around the world. When you see the AHG logo, you know
you’re dealing with a business with a higher purpose, one
committed to seeing the world’s prosperity reach EVERYONE.
As an investor, vendor or
partner with AHG, you are making a commitment to our shared
future. If we pull together, we see a very bright future.
Millions of African women
can get jobs instead of spending their time gathering water
or mourning for children poisoned by filthy water. Millions
of black men in America can get vocational training instead
of incarceration, and the economic strength of the united
people of color will increase that much more; because there
is no power without economic power.
Nothing will ever change
for disadvantaged people of color unless we all do your
part. Contact us at
info@africahouseglobal.com and we will update you on
this movement. We have got to stick together, every one of
us, and that includes YOU! Visit
