Our Programs
We preserve African heritage, amplify indigenous healing wisdom, and empower communities through storytelling and education.
Overview
Cultural Preservation
We record creation stories, clan histories, languages, oral poetry, music, dance, and craft as living heritage, and help communities build their own archives. When stories are preserved with consent and context, identity strengthens, elders’ knowledge is respected, and youth see themselves as custodians of culture.

Key Activities
- Field interviews with elders & custodians (audio/video)
