What’s in a name?

Inspired by the word Ubuntu - an idea present in African philosophy the essence of which is ‘I am, because you were and because we are’ or "we are all connected", we cannot be ourselves without the community. An individual's well being is caught up in the well being of others.

VISIONThe-one-place for all descendants of Africa.
‍MISSIONWe believe descendants of Africa have the potential to do incredible things. All it needs is for the people to come, stay and work together. To achieve this we need to rebuild trust between each other. Our aim is to facilitate a dialogue that empowers our communities by standing strong together to address social and developmental needs first, locally and then build a bridge with Africa.

In short we exist to
Ignite opportunity by mobilizing the people.
