African Information Movement (AIM.) was established in Ghana in October 2006 and registered in April 2007 as a Non-Governmental Organization operating under the companies’ code of Ghana (1963) under its own constitution. African Information Movement operates as an independent, non-profit, non-partisan, nonreligious, non-political organization and as an active member of several networks. The vision of AIM. is to empower the youth in the Komenda-Edina-Eguafo-Abirem (K.E.E.A.) Municipality to make their communities an attractive place to live.

One of today’s greatest challenges is the promotion of knowledge, education and environmental consciousness among the youth, as the key to successful and sustainable development. Having the right information at the right time is a tool which can bring about a change.

AIM. is realising development projects in Ghana through fundraising and education efforts by its partner organization in Germany and is offering programmes of open youth work in both countries. In the computerized world of today, having access to Information and Communication Technology (ICT) is vital to help close the gap between the North and the South. AIM. believes that the  empowerment of the youth through the provision of knowledge is a sure way to helping the youth identify their competencies and using them productively. In this vein, a number of projects are underway to fulfil the objectives of AIM.

To complement the objectives and the vision of the project, African Information Movement is actively working with the local youth in Freiburg and in the K.E.E.A. Municipality of Ghana. It has established youth clubs in Germany and in Ghana to provide a platform for young people to come together, discuss, plan and do projects themselves that will serve the interest of their community or benefit a social purpose.

AIM. is also involved in several environmental projects and the motivation for this interest is to help the youth build a healthy relationship with their environment and see how their acquired knowledge they can relate positively with the environment and make a better use of natural resources.
