About Us: Afro-Latinos for Africa

At Afro-Latinos for Africa, we believe in the power of cultural connection and grassroots advocacy to drive meaningful change and economic growth. Based in Ghana, our organization is dedicated to building bridges between communities in Africa, the United States, and Latin America. By fostering partnerships and empowering local voices, we aim to strengthen cultural ties and create opportunities that resonate across borders.

Our Mission

We take the initiative to:
  • Empower Grassroots Advocacy: Equip individuals and communities in Africa to become their own advocates, amplifying their voices and showcasing the richness of their cultures.
  • Foster Cultural Ambassadorship: Inspire Afro-Latinos and African communities to share their unique stories, talents, and traditions, promoting global understanding and unity.
  • Enhance Economic Development: Support African communities in establishing meaningful connections abroad, engaging in trade, and accessing opportunities that boost economic growth.
  • Build Collaborative Partnerships: Create pathways for communities to connect directly with international government leaders, CEOs, and organizations to form strategic alliances for mutual growth.

Why We Exist
Too often, the responsibility of fostering international relationships is left solely to governments. We recognize that lasting, impactful relationships require grassroots engagement and collaboration between people, businesses, and cultural ambassadors. By connecting Afro-Latinos in the Americas with communities in Africa, we create an ecosystem of mutual support, shared learning, and economic opportunity.

What We Do
  • Organize cross-cultural exchanges and workshops to celebrate the shared heritage of Afro-Latinos and Africans.
  • Provide training programs that help communities in Africa build the skills and confidence to advocate for themselves and their businesses on the global stage.
  • Establish partnerships with international leaders and corporations to promote sustainable economic development.
  • Host events and forums that bridge the gap between Africa, the U.S., and Latin America, fostering long-term relationships for growth.

Join Us
Afro-Latinos for Africa is more than an organization—it’s a movement. Together, we can celebrate our shared heritage, uplift one another, and create a thriving future where communities take the lead in their growth and prosperity.

Let’s build bridges that empower and unite.
