Since 1983, the Leesburg based nonprofit International Partnership for Human Development has helped attain economic, social and cultural stability in poor countries all across the world. Throughout the past 28 years, IPHD has provided aid to such countries as Congo, Guinea-Bisseau, Moldova, Mexico, Central African Republic, Republic of Guinea, Romania, El Salvador, Nigeria, Equatorial Guinea and others. Through partnerships with the U.S. Department of Agriculture and other United Nations agencies, millions of dollars have been used to provide aid through providing lunches, school improvements, malaria prevention, agricultural growth and the organization of Parent Teacher Associations. In Guinea-Bisseau, Adrian has seen enormous growth since the program’s inception in 2003. The nonprofit has provided more than $50 million dollars in aid and has fed more than 105,000 children in primary schools every month with prepared meals daily. In addition, Adrian has overseen the creation of the first national PTA organization, distributed more than 60 mosquito nets to aid in malaria prevention and school rehabilitation.
