Economic and Social Development

The African Network LLR is committed to stimulating the economic, social, and cultural development of our community by actively promoting the acceleration of economic growth. We believe that by providing the right tools and connections, we can ensure the progress and prosperity of Africans and those of African heritage in Leicester, Leicestershire, Rutland, and beyond.

Driving Economic Growth

Our strategic missions are designed to translate our vision of a prosperous community into concrete action.

Promoting Opportunities: We work to promote and share available socio-economic opportunities directly within African communities.
Encouraging Involvement: We empower and encourage members to take an active role in local socio-economic and political activities.
Strategic Growth: By acting as a dynamic force, we aim to accelerate economic development for all our members.

Integrating into Mainstream Services

A key anatomy of our organisation is the commitment to embedding our members into the essential services that help them thrive.

Mainstream Embedding: We promote and embed Africans into available mainstream services at local, national, and international levels.
Coherent Support: We ensure that all projects and educational programmes are coherent and aimed specifically at accelerating this integration.
Aspiration Building: Our initiatives are designed to raise the aspirations of members and their communities, helping them realize their full potential.

Sharing Knowledge and Expertise

We believe that our community's greatest asset is its people. Our primary goal is to share ideas, information, and network with all Africans.

Resource Exchange: As a member, you are exposed to a range of personalities from all backgrounds with a wide variety of skills, knowledge, and expertise.
Goal Achievement: We educate, empower, and support our members to ensure they achieve their specific personal and professional goals.
Collective Success: We advocate for a united and integrated community that is anchored in a model of society that seeks the prosperity of all.
