AFRICAN REPARATIONS FUND

Moyo wa Africa is opposed to the notion of charity, and consciously recognizes that any resources that flow from ‘the West’ (European societies) to Africa or Africans must be considered long-overdue reparations for centuries of destruction and plunder by European powers. The African Reparations Fund is the branch of MWA that collects resources and redistributes them to people and projects that use an Indigenist or decolonization framework to tackle the legacies of colonization, such as poverty, Aids, and war. Organizations with an Indigenist or decolonization framework are rooted in Indigenous African spiritualities, knowledge systems, and economic praxis, and use these as a basis for rebuilding healthy, self-sustaining and sustainable societies. In addition to being Indigenist, the initiatives selected are those which incorporate anti-oppression principles to protect the interests of women, children, queer people, people with disabilities, and all people disadvantaged by societal inequities. To receive funding these initiatives must genuinely and substantially improve the lives of the community/ies in which they operate in the long-term. The suitability and success of projects funded is assessed collectively by the community and by members of  MWA. To receive funding an organization or project must first become part of our network and then the ARF or the organization can initiate a conversation on the possibility of funding.
