Birthright AFRICA: Living The Mission!

Despite an unprecedented global pandemic that led to years of significant travel restrictions and economic downturn, Birthright AFRICA has remained committed to providing free educational trips to Africa for every youth and young adult of African descent ages 13-30. Birthright AFRICA has provided the Birthright Experience for over 100 young people of African descent, with 40 Scholars participating in their global travel program this summer to Kenya and Ghana!

Birthright AFRICA has secured an MOU with the Ghana Tourism Association, creating an intentional, collaborative, and sustainable approach to connecting youth and young adults of the African Diaspora to their cultural roots and legacy of innovation.

If your passion aligns with Birthright AFRICA’s vision and mission, consider supporting financially today. The Sankofa Legacy Circle is Birthright AFRICA’s premiere membership program consisting of a  community of dedicated philanthropists whose contributions sustain the mission of Birthright AFRICA.

To join the Sankofa Legacy Circle, individuals must commit to provide the birthright for one scholar, and one-time annual donations of $5,000+ are encouraged.
