Ademi Development Aid Initiatives (ADAI) is a Non-Profit and Non-Governmental Organisation founded by Precious Adem in March 2025 as Aspiring Determined Eminent Men International (ADEMI). This initiative stemmed from a passion to solve mental health, SGBV and community development issues in a coastal community, “Akpet Central” in Cross River, Nigeria, through practical, community-driven solutions.
ADAI has been in operation for approximately 1+ year, working alongside individuals, families, local leaders, and young people, and has carried out 5+ projects across 4 thematic areas, which we hold onto. We also partner with youth groups and local organisations, impacting over 1,000 individuals in Nigeria.
We are a licensed entity of the Corporate Affairs Commission in Nigeria (RC: 9520177), with measures to scale across Africa, which established the name Ademi Development Aid Initiatives in May 2026.
ADAI is strongly committed to fostering Resilience, Impact, and Growth among individuals and communities across borders to ensure sustainable change.
