Our vision

OUR VISION

African communities contribute to the equitable and sustainable development of the continent through quality education based on the use of their own languages. 

OUR MISSION

Promote quality education in national languages, for grassroots communities, through training, publishing, pedagogical innovations and action research.

Our history

Since the 1990s, it has emerged as a major organization promoting national languages, particularly Pulaar. It develops literacy programs and promotes national languages. Its actions have a strong resonance within Halpulaar communities.

A major upheaval with the death of founder Sonja F. Diallo.
This ushered in a phase of internal crisis, with a sudden break in funding, and an era of institutional instability.

The young animators who were part of the organization and had no relationship with the partners who funded ARED, decided to take over.
The commitment of this team, who worked for a long time without pay, has enabled ARED to be relaunched and renewed.

Organization in full renewal. Creation of a management team. Creation of ARED Africa. Gradual stability and diversification of business sectors.
Bilingual program from ARED.

Extending and diversifying partnerships.
