African Evangelism and Development Project

Relieve poverty. Strengthen people.

AEDP e.V. is an independent association based in Hanover, with an office in Lehrte. We help at every level of poverty reduction and relieve concrete need.

The association

Our mission

Africa is the world’s second-largest continent. It comprises many countries rich in natural resources and cultural heritage. At the same time, many people there live in great poverty.

The causes range from the lack of a stable economic structure to corruption and political instability, and on to droughts and floods. Limited access to education and health care hits the poorest communities hardest.

Reducing poverty therefore requires work, strong education and health systems, environmental protection and international cooperation. AEDP e.V. was founded to help at every level and to relieve concrete need.

AEDP e.V. is an independent association. In our work on the ground we cooperate with International Gospel Center Hannover e.V. and Triumphant Christian Center Accra.
