ILAD promotes human flourishing through educational, economic and social development in communities that are under-resourced. We do this by partnering with communities to facilitate local solutions to local problems through our four core competencies; Agricultural Development, Educational Development, Business Development, and Human Language Technology. The purpose of ILAD is to partner with local communities, governments, and organizations to implement projects that meet stated needs of the local people. Local assets, local people, and local creativity are leveraged to build sustainable solutions to local problems. ILAD focuses on first language literacy, economic development, and general well-being. Our Strategies to effect ongoing change are: (1) the promotion of literacy in local languages by means of: a. the development of local writing systems b. the creation of sustainable literacy programs, and c. the facilitation of access to written materials. (2) the collaboration with the local community in development projects, each of which will incorporate one or more of the following key areas of development: a. poverty relief b. access to education c. economic growth d. provision of clean water e. sanitation f. health and medical relief Our Vision: Lives changed in language communities worldwide through literacy and development
