"Help me and let me help you” - is a literal translation from the Twi language of the meaning of the above Adinkra symbol.
The symbol EDT-Africa chose as our logo depicts co-operation and interdependence. We believe it is only when we work hand in hand with the various communities that we (together) can make a change in their livelihoods.
Adinkra symbols were created by the Akans of Ghana and Gyaman of La Cote d'Ivoire. These symbols have distinct meanings are often linked to proverbs or wise sayings. They were originally used mostly for a special screen printed fabric and on sacred carved stools. They are now used extensively in architecture, pottery etc..
