The Integrated Wealth Alliance (IWA), founded by Chief Ayanda Clarke, is new initiative that presents to the community a variety of practitioners and specialists who have shared values and similar outlooks on how we heal collectively.
IWA PRACTITIONERS AND SPECIALISTS ARE FUNDAMENTALLY LINKED BECAUSE WE:
- share a deep respect for Africa
- have an unquestionable commitment to providing stellar service, and
- desire to positively impact our community -at - large
We understand that our communities need balance and healing on multiple levels.
We also believe we are strongest when we unite and integrate our solutions for the community - at - large.
THE INTEGRATED WEALTH ALLIANCE
Inspired by the interdisciplinary collaboration of our mentors in Africa, the ideal principles that birthed our healthcare systems, and by the intentions that make referral networks successful, THE FADARA GROUP is Re-defining Wealth with the establishment of its
Integrated Wealth Alliance (IWA).
The Vision
THE FADARA GROUP envisions a world where businesses, organizations, entrepreneurs, community leaders, and artists proudly center African culture and philosophy within their service framework and partner with other entities to effect long-lasting change in their respective communities, one strategic relationship at a time.
The Mission
THE FADARA GROUP LLC has established a program for vision-adjacent entities committed to the health and wellness of our community. The Integrated Wealth Alliance (IWA) is a membership-based structure that will function as a resource and referral network of fully-vetted partners whose variety of services complement each other.
The Objectives
IWA is based on two core values and understandings:
The health and wellness of the collective body are necessarily tied to the health and wellness of the body’s parts.
Advocacy for “whole wealth” necessarily includes the balanced integration of one’s mental health, physical vitality, spiritual wellness, creative initiatives, and material stability.
