Introducing ONG AGEDD

Who are We?

ONG AGEDD (Guinean Association for Sustainable Development Awake) was established in 2006 in Maferinyah, Guinea (West Africa) and was officially registered in 2011. We intervene throughout Guinea and focus on youth, women, poor, differently abled people, farmers and unemployed.

Our Mission
