"I am because we are."
— Ubuntu Philosophy, Southern Africa

At Chihamba, we believe that identity, culture, and community are inseparable. The African principle of Ubuntu, “I am because we are”, guides everything we do. It reminds us that our strength and purpose come not from individual efforts alone but from our deep connections.

Our sponsors are an essential part of this circle. Your generosity fuels our programs, festivals, scholarships, and celebrations of African and African American heritage. You are not just supporting an event, you are uplifting a legacy, honoring a tradition, and walking with us in the ongoing work of cultural preservation and joyful resistance.

Thank you for being part of our village. Because of you, we can continue to go far, together.
