We are a dedicated group of individuals, each hailing from different corners of the beautiful continent of Africa. While we hold our heritage and homelands close to our hearts, we’ve also found a new home to be proud of – Milton Keynes. This town is a true reflection of diversity, and we are delighted to be a part of it. Our mission is to foster unity among the diverse African communities living in Milton Keynes. We aim to achieve this through education, respect, and celebration, as we embrace the richness of our various cultural backgrounds. Our goal is to discover common ground, nurture mutual respect, and revel in the joy of learning about each other’s cultures and our own histories. We confidently believe that strength lies in unity, and by working together, we can achieve great things.
