About Us
Background
The unites States of America USA is known for opportunities, better living, better education, and affordable quality healthcare. It has been attractive, especially for Africans and some people in parts of Asia.
These are the major socio-economic factors that drive people and define a good life. Nearly 70,000 foreigners arrive in the United States every day according to US population statics. The average American moves 11.7 times in their lifetime. According to new Census data, nearly 28 million people — or 8.4% of all Americans — moved to the United States in 2021.
Foreign-born Africans come from all over the continent, but the largest countries of origin for African immigrants are Nigeria, Ethiopia, Egypt, Ghana, and Kenya. These five countries accounted for half of the foreign-born African population in the U.S. on 2015.14 Feb 2017. Areas such as Washington DC, New York, Baltimore, Philadelphia, Houston, Atlanta, Los Angeles, Boston, Columbus, and Minneapolis have heavy concentrations of African immigrant populations.
Texas has the largest Black population with over 3.9 million. State by state, the highest number of Black Americans could be found in Texas (3.96 million), Florida (3.70 million), Georgia (3.54 million), New York (3.53 million), and California (2.83 million).
With this level of increase in the population and the hard economic times and the regulations by the government, so many Africans have been unable to stand strong and most have ended up in the streets or are facing deportation by the government. It is because of this that this organization has found it necessary to offer psychological and social support.
