Educate About Ancient and Modern African History

Donation protected
#smallbusinessfundraiser: With your donations, we completed our website! Please visit for more information and team pics: www.theahs.net. Use of funds are public. We want you to celebrate our exciting milestones with us! Thanks for your donations and likes on social media! We now have our website and office infrastructure up and running. See the updates under my donation below. 
 
We are a team of scholars of history and educators of the languages used in ancient African manuscript traditions and in contemporary Africa. We translate and produce educational content for schools in Africa and the developing world, underserved communities in the US and generally, for all those interested in ancient and contemporary African history and culture.

We, initially, launched AHS to digitally reclaim information contained in ancient African manuscript traditions (i.e., Egypt, Nubia, Ethiopia, Mali (e.g., Timbuktu), Berber, etc.) to reconstruct and teach African history and educate African and African-descended youth and citizens at large about Africa's contribution to global culture and civilization, largely written by ancient Africans. AHS (www.theahs.net) produces educational content about modern African, too. (Click the "Home" button to hear some of the diverse African languages). 

AHS IT solutions are utilized for international sales and dissemination. All profits are reinvested to further our mission. Your support will help us to counterbalance the millions invested by mainstream media and academic bias to skew our image of Africa and its contributions to global civilization, culture, and global wealth. We believe that knowledge about Africa's contributions will be healing and reconciliatory for our communities and the world. 

We received a small grant for office infrastructure and accounting services. Use-of-funds are regularly made public. We have institutional affiliations with an African and US university.

Our second grant has been delayed by COVID-19 backlog at the IRS. We launched a small GoFundMe as a bridge. Thanks to your support, we are now in talks with a foundation and will update all followers on use-of-funds, milestones, and progress. Donations are used to fund research and translation, produce content and programming. We are also expanding our office infrastructure. See the comments below for the latest use-of-funds from your donations, so far.

Follow us on Twitter and Instagram: Africa_sHistory YouTube: The African Historical Society. Thank you for your interest! Every bit helps. Let's keep the momentum going. This is historic!
