Principles and Practices of Carnegie A1 Community
Culture
gives significant insight into the culture of the Carnegie A1 Community, a family foundation in Uganda, which is based on the descent from its founder Ahmed Adaku, as the starting point.
The ultimate goal of the community is to promote unity, honesty and the spirit of hard work among its members. It also encourages the personal development of individual members, as well as keeping the unity of members within their different individual families. All members of the community shall originate from this one great family by birth or by marriage into the family as they become part of the community.
The basis of the community's culture is upholding the guiding principles that will help its families live a positive life, while at the same time excluding undesirable practices.
The Carnegie A1 community has many benefits because of its leadership structure, composition and mode of becoming a leader in the community. The leadership style provides clear and smooth succession which shall continue from one generation to another without greed and struggle for leadership position.
Some of the ideas of starting Carnegie A1 community and the formulation of its guiding principles stem from the founder's previously published book,
The Journey of Life: The Basic Family Principles of Living a Fulfilling Life
(Strategic Book Publishing, 2025).
Reading both books will provide a complete picture of a good family life in the current society which is full of destructive forces.
