BeingAfrican-Preserving Culture and Empowering Generations!
Donation protected
We are reaching out with a heartfelt plea — not just as an African-led nonprofit, but as guardians of a legacy that is at risk of being forgotten.
BeingAfrican is more than a name — it is a calling. A mission.
We are devoted to preserving and celebrating the heart of Africa: our languages, customs, traditions, and timeless heritage. As globalization accelerates and generations drift further from their roots, we face an urgent reality — many of Africa’s ancient languages and cultural practices are fading into silence.
But it does not have to be this way.
We are asking for your help to raise $100,000 to fund programs that will preserve, protect, and promote the essence of what it means to be African — for us, for our children, and for the world.
Why This Matters — to You, to Us, and to the World
If you are interested in visiting, working in, or even going to study in Africa, or if you are of African descent or part of the African Diaspora, you will benefit abundantly from our programs, from learning the language to understanding the culture.
If you are in the Diaspora, you know the quiet ache of African language and cultural distance, dilution, and erosion.
You may speak your parents’ language less fluently.
You may long to pass down traditions you barely know or remember.
You may have asked yourself, what part of me is being lost?
You may be of African descent and want to assimilate with a country in Africa and learn the language, culture and customs of a particular country in Africa.
This is the moment to reclaim it.
If you are part of the global community, this is your opportunity to stand with us — to help protect one of the richest tapestries of human history and identity the world has ever known.
What Your Support Will Fund:
1. Language & Cultural Templates – We are creating accessible, user-friendly tools to teach endangered African languages and document customs, proverbs, and some rituals across generations.
2. Advertising & Social Media Outreach – We need to amplify African voices and stories through digital campaigns that resonate across platforms and borders.
3. Digital Media Production – High-quality, educational videos and content will bring African culture to life, reaching audiences in every corner of the globe.
4. Website Development & Maintenance – Our website will serve as a digital hub: a central, living archive and educational platform for language resources, cultural content, and community connection
5. Global Brand Awareness Campaign – We are launching international initiatives to bring African language and culture to the forefront of global consciousness — through partnerships, storytelling, and events. Everyone in the world benefits from knowing more about African language and culture.
Why Now?
Every day, an elder passes on. A language falls silent. A ritual is forgotten.
But we can change this — if we act now.
We believe Africa’s legacy is a light that must never go out.
But we cannot do it without you.
