About the Heritage Reconnection Alliance

The Heritage Reconnection Alliance is a groundbreaking initiative dedicated to rediscovering and reconnecting the “Lost Africans” in the Asia Pacific region with their African heritage. We are committed to reclaiming lost narratives, empowering communities, and fostering cultural connections within the global African Diaspora.

Lost African Diasporas in the Asia Pacific

The Asia Pacific region is home to diverse communities with ancestral ties to Africa. Over centuries, these communities have experienced migration, cultural assimilation, and historical challenges that have resulted in their status as “Lost Africans.” Our organization focuses on identifying and engaging with these communities to revive their cultural heritage, strengthen their sense of identity, and forge connections with the broader African Diaspora

Why you should support us

For too long, the history and contributions of the lost African Diaspora within the Asia Pacific region have been overlooked and forgotten. Our project aims to uncover their rich heritage, reconnect them with their African roots, and foster a sense of belonging within the global African Diaspora community. We seek the support of stakeholders and financiers who believe in the power of reclaiming lost narratives and forging meaningful connections across continents.

Your support will not only help us uncover hidden histories and build bridges between continents but also promote cultural diversity, social justice, and global understanding. Together, we can bring recognition, inclusivity, and empowerment to the lost African Diaspora within the Asia Pacific region, fostering a more unified and vibrant global African Diaspora community.
