Fatherland Foundation

Fatherland Foundation is a non-profit organization created to advance African culture, faith, tourism, and traditional values in the U.S. and worldwide. Fatherland Foundation was created by Fatherland Global Corporation and operated independently under the governance of its own Board of Directors.

Mission Statement

The Culture and Traditional Values strengthen and promote the well-being and resilience of people and communities. By advancing equitable opportunities for cultural participation and practice, the Fatherland Foundation fosters and sustains an environment in which the African culture benefit everyone in the United States and around the World. Cultural participation means participating in arts, crafts, media, design, and literary and artistic education.

For the nation and communities around the World, these opportunities can awaken social, civic, and economic benefits.

Fatherland Programs

Reconnecting to the African roots

It is time for African descendants all over the World to know Africa and enjoy the good nature of the Fatherland. Non-Africans have told African stories, and Fatherlands reconnecting to the African roots’ programs are geared towards giving the African descendants the opportunities to learn and come to know and appreciate the true Africa and gain the optimum African Experience. These learning opportunities come in different forms – the cultural community gathering events, tours, travels, exchange learning programs, etc.

Learning is a fun process! Fatherland events are always an added benefit. It is a way to break the monotony of life and connect with, learn, and play with other Afrocentric-minded people, enjoying networking sessions.

The Fatherland’s transatlantic exchange program

In 2022, Fatherland introduced its pioneering altruistic Transatlantic Exchange program to support young United States and Europe graduates to learn first-hand about the African traditional culture & values in a university setting, work environment, and from a host family while staying in Africa. This program enables young graduates to travel to Africa for one month in the summer of 2023 and 2024.

The Schools Program

Fatherland foundation facilitates free afro-centric programs for ages 9-16 in summer or as an after-school activity. It instructs them on Africa’s Culture and Traditional Values and provides in-depth knowledge of a revered time-honored way of life. It is perceived as an opportunity to foster self-awareness of African descendants’ children, connect them to their roots, and bridge the history gap in the standard school syllabus and, for others, an appreciation of a culture other than theirs.

The course comprises various learning goals. All the children are given the necessary support, materials, and tools to ensure that these goals are easily attained in a positive, fun, and uplifting way. Apart from programs in Dance, Crafts, History, Basket Weaving, Jewellery, African cloth designs, Dressmaking, and Cooking, a four-module course is offered as detailed below:
