About Us
DabolaB
Inc. is a 501 (c) (3) not-for-profit organization incorporated in the state of
Georgia. Dabola, Inc. is named after a village called “Dabola Berete” in Northern
part of ‘The Republic of Guinea.’ Dabola Berete is found to have people residing
in parts of West Africa (i.e. Ghana, Ivory Coast, Liberia, Nigeria, Sierra
Leone, Zaire, and etc.) during normal times. Some of these states, however, have
had worst civil wars lasting between (10 to 20 years) causing its citizens and
immigrants to flee for their lives from the various countries mentioned. These
wars had indirect impact on economic conditions of inhabitants of many West
African states. As a result, basic living conditions are declining---poor
sanitation, food shortages, lack of adequate schools, no healthcare facilities,
and etc. The charter commitment of Dabola, Inc. is to help organize communities’
members both in the United States and in Africa to recognize the plight affecting
the regions; to mobilize efforts necessary to help the rebuilding efforts.
Some members of our organization have
traveled throughout West Africa and their
first-hand information gathered about the difficult living conditions every
where they visited is very similar. They found many broken-down houses, no
clinic to serve the sick, children with worst mal-nutrition cases, no adequate school
for children; food resources are in scarcity, and etc. They also observed the
townships shrinking instead of expanding partly because relatives living in
urban cities have stop sending back assistance that use to serve as aids when
it was affordable.
Restoring
communities and building a future are the guiding principles of Dabola B, Inc. Hence,
Dabola Inc. goal is to assist people afflicted by natural disasters, wars, and
poverty by providing needed disaster relief services and then help build viable
capacity of these communities. Our aim is to restore dignity by providing the resources
to help people get back on their feet gradually.
