African Cultural Heritage Preservation Fund

This Program invests in the preservation and sustainable utilization of Africa's cultural heritage. By financing community-owned cultural sites, archives, and tourism initiatives, the Fund supports moral and cultural development while generating dignified livelihoods. Projects must prioritize community stewardship, avoid commodification, and ensure that economic benefits flow directly to local custodians of heritage.
