Our Global Mission
Our Mission is Simple. To teach African languages and culture to the next generation. This mission is not just for African children but for all who appreciate the continent’s rich languages and culture.
Our program is exciting and entertaining at its core. From inception to date, our virtual class sizes have consistently grown and parents remain pleased because our instructors are good at what they do. Children enjoy learning their language with their peers and engage more this way. We have held virtual cooking classes making meatpies and puff puff. We have introduced Afro beats fitness and dance and we have hosted a myriad of speakers and entertainers.
Our classes are competing against extracurricular, academic and social commitments. As such, I recognize the importance of presenting these languages in a fun and relatable way. It was important to me that our classes reflect the kind of language class I would have looked forward to attending as a child. I look forward to adding more languages as we expand.
The positive feedback has been humbling thus far and shows that we are on the right track. To everyone who has signed up thus far and is yet to sign up – Daalu, Adupe, Asante!

Testimonials
My boys always look forward to classes. Well done.
My daughter was so excited and enjoyed your class as always. She came downstairs and said, “That was fun.”
My son enjoys his Yoruba classes and thinks they’re fun all the time.
My children are excited and liked the class! Great job! They’ve been playing Kahoot for the past few days and enjoy it!
Those were great classes on Tuesday! My daughter really enjoyed it. My second daughter loved the one on one/smaller class.
Our son has had his first few lessons and has thoroughly enjoyed them. He has met other young children and likes to try and converse with his peers.
I liked how we did a Kahoot because it made it more fun! My daughters speak the truth and thus far, I have not heard a complaint so I know you’re doing a good thing! Well done. Keep it up!
My kids have learnt alot of Igbo this period and enjoy having conversations amongst themselves in Igbo. I am grateful for the hard work, attention and care given to my kids throughout this program.
The wonderful thing about the Yoruba classes is that the children learn so much more than just the language. They are immersed in the culture. From the history of the Yoruba people to how to cook the food. My 10 year old recently made puffpuff for the family. The course structure keeps my kids engaged and they are having a lot of fun too. My family was impressed with the girls singing Iya Ni Wura on Mothers Day.
