MISSION AND OBJECTIVE

MISSION

Our mission is to give every child in the diaspora the opportunity to discover the richness of our culture by learning our language from an early age. We aim to create a stimulating environment where children can not only acquire knowledge, but also actively use Yemba in their daily lives.

OBJECTIVE

Ndendǝ́Yɛ́mba aims to immerse children aged 5 to 12 in the Yemba language and culture through an intensive two-week program. The main objective is to instill in participants the essential foundations of Yemba and cultivate in them an active passion for the language, while strengthening their cultural identity within the diaspora through an enriching community experience.
