AYDA was conceived in June 2006 and established with a constitution on the 9th day of July 2007. The association became a company registered by guarantee in September 2007 and a registered charity in February 2008 with a board of trustees appointed to run the organisation.

AYDA is a Diaspora organisation set up as a platform to advocate, support and empower young people to overcome the challenges they face especially those with learning difficulties. Young people have a lot to overcome in order to lead normal lives and their parents, most of whom usually have little support, tend to suffer. There are very few places for such parents to turn to for assistance and often they are not aware of others who have the same problem and could be of great support to each other.

“AYDA is living proof that, although helping just one person can seem like a drop in the ocean, that drop can be a person’s whole world. One by one… we will change the world for the better.”
