ILAD

OUR

MISSION

ILAD promotes human flourishing through educational, economic and social development in communities that are under-resourced. We do this by partnering with communities to facilitate local solutions to local problems through our four core competencies; Agricultural Development, Educational Development, Business Development, and Human Language Technology.

We train, mentor, & guide aspiring entrepreneurs & small business owners to launch or scale businesses that lift people from poverty, restore dignity & promote flourishing within their community.

We develop digital tools for under-resourced communities that allow for the use of technology within their language. Not only does this result in better communication and provide access to online markets and vital information, it also gives them a voice in the global conversation.

We partner with local communities to develop and implement impactful educational opportunities that level the playing field, strengthen communities, and change the future. This can be literacy primers, health manuals, providing school supplies, the construction of school buildings in rural areas and more.

We provide agricultural training, savings and loan services and develop access to markets, to give low-income farmers the ability to increase crop yield, buy land, participate in economic markets and improve their livelihoods.

Language NFT

There are 1000’s of languages with no online presence – no way to access information and no way to add their voices to the global conversation online. The people who speak these languages often face significant economic and social challenges.

This NFT community is leveraging Human Language Technology to finally connect all people; weaving the speakers of these languages into the tapestry of our online world to make it more beautiful, inclusive, and diverse.

The Rohingya Program

The Rohingya are a group of refugees that have been persecuted, denied education, the opportunity to work, and citizenship in any country. When they arrive as refugees to the US, they need support and services tailored to their specific situation. ILAD’s Rohingya program partners with them to provide trauma informed interventions to help them become successful members of the United States.
