ISRAELITE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM

“Without commerce and industry, a people perish economically. The Negro is perishing because he has no economic system” – Marcus Garvey

Business is defi ned as the activity of production, purchasing or selling goods or providing services in exchange for money. Hebrew Israelites in general and the Black Community at large are lagging behind as a community in industry, manufacturing and entrepreneurship. As many already know, during slavery, slave education was outlawed. Illiteracy and lack of education was not just imposed upon us to keep us ignorant but to also keep us dependent. Black dependence on outsiders for basic needs causes us to be a community of consumers, with all finances going out of the community and no finances rotating within. Dependency destroyed our sense of cooperative economics and any idea

of us becoming a self-sustaining community like many others communities around us. The Israelite Economic Development Program creates business enterprises for successful Israelite commerce and aids individuals with business development and entrepreneurship.  Aiding people with individual’s business ideas and goals while emphasizing the need for collective community contribution to a greater economic purpose will be a key element to our overall economic independence and success.

 

REACH ONE INITIATIVE

Community outreach is an essential component of Ahm Zadik’s overall mission. The Reach One Initiative is the program division from which we operate all community and social service projects. Our projects include feeding the homeless, coat drives, anti-violence programs, health fairs, conflict resolution in the community, incarceration prevention, employment related services and community awareness. He must cease our overdependence on entities outside of our community to do those for things we can do could and should do for ourselves.

 

EDUCATION AND MEDIA OPERATIONS

Our Literature, publications, videos, lectures and seminars are organized and produced under the Education and Media Operations Division. We have all heard the term “Knowledge is Power”. We want to do our best to arm and fortify our people with truth and make the best information and The Creator’s word, available and accessible.
