The HACSA Sankofa Network is a powerful and diverse global network promoting and celebrating African heritage and culture, and building the future we want for Africa. Join the HACSA Sankofa Network if you share our values, support our approach and wish to be part of a global network of like-minded people helping to reunite the diaspora, empower women and girls, and develop youth leadership and skills in our communities — both on the continent and in the diaspora.
The Sankofa Young Leaders Fellowship is a leadership development and Africa immersion program for high school and college students from around the world. It offers mentorship and helps develop cultural competency, career and social networks. Participants earn certificates and gain the opportunity to volunteer on projects and meet counterparts in Africa — gaining invaluable experience, skills and networks that enhance their lives, careers and future long after they leave Africa.
Tech4Girls is a hands-on learning program which trains girls and women in digital skills — including ICT, coding and AI — to empower them for career development. The initiative creates opportunities for African girls and women to immerse themselves in technology and acquire skills needed for careers in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM). Girls are also taught soft skills including entrepreneurship, emotional intelligence and leadership.
HACSA Innovation and Heritage Hubs will provide a campus and cultural centre for our programmes and projects — including the Tech4Girls Initiative, the Creatives Fellowship and the Sankofa Young Leaders Fellowship. It is a place of cultural enrichment and exchange for visitors to Ghana, a space for reflection and healing for the visiting African diaspora, and a hub for learning, innovation and the celebration of African heritage and culture.
