Karibuni!

Our aim is to initiate an innovative environment that delivers, builds, and advances the cultural, social, and economic interests of all the people, especially people of African descent, indigenous, racialized minorities, faith communities, and the diaspora, with a focus on educational opportunities, services, and support. We take pride in building safe spaces, and sourcing resources for local and global programs, through networking; knowledge, and information dissemination, which strengthen friendships/relationship opportunities, and build bridges.

We think of ourselves in broader terms that include the protection and advocacy of fundamental human rights, human well-being, and human potential.
