Why This Matters
For years, Africans across the Diaspora have dreamed of a space that celebrates who we are.
A place to share our culture, our stories, and our future.
Now, that dream is within reach. Together, we can build the West African Cultural Conference Centre of America (WACCCA).
A home for education, arts, business, and community. A place where our children can learn their roots, where traditions live on, and where Africa’s heartbeat thrives in America.
This is more than a building. It will become our LEGACY.
