Our mission is to:

• Promote Economic Empowerment: Encourage entrepreneurship, skill development, and cooperative ventures to create sustainable livelihoods.
• Foster Community Development: Build strong, inclusive communities that celebrate cultural heritage while embracing diversity.
• Advocate for Social Equity: Address challenges faced by African descendants and immigrants, ensuring access to opportunities and resources.
• Encourage Cultural Exchange: Celebrate and share the rich heritage of African cultures to strengthen global understanding and unity.

What We Do

• Cooperative Support: We help establish and grow cooperatives that provide economic opportunities and strengthen communities.

• Cultural Celebrations: Organize events to honor and showcase African culture and traditions.

Our Vision

A cooperative business, or co-op, is a business that is owned and controlled by its members, who benefit from the business’s earnings. Co-ops are different from other businesses because they are run for the benefit of their members, rather than for the profit of investors
