OUR PRIMARY PURPOSE
To promote a positive image of Africa all over the world.
To provide education and talent scholarships to disadvantaged African youth across the globe.
To mobilize all people of African descent to visit the continent of Africa at least once in their lifetime.
To reconnect with their roots and thereby regain their lost identity.
To create a dialogue between Africans at home and Africans in Diaspora. To bridge the gap of spiritual cultural and economic divide.
To provide a dynamic fostering of the spirit of unity and peace.
To give back to the cradle of mankind.
We are Africans first before we are anything else. No matter our religious or political affiliations,
we all believe in the Fatherhood of GOD and the brotherhood of mankind.
Therefore, the goal is looking for real alternatives without compromising the issue or encouraging beggary. The B.T.A. plan seeks to bring knowledge and experience to African-Americans. The foundation will impact Black communities in the United States through cultural integration and exchange of knowledge and ideas as they travel to the motherland. At least one trip in their lifetime. Together, this group of travelers if given an opportunity can promote its own "globalization" creating and expanding markets and alliances that directly benefit the economies of the United States and other parts of the world. These markets could also incorporate the Caribbean and Africa as they gap that was created for many years is shortened. Such activities would become an avenue for promoting relations between the regions, which is not the case today as there is still some great disparity of African Americans and the motherland. This represents a great-untapped reserve of good resolve toward the United States and forms huge potential for mutual markets between them.
The B.T.A. plan seeks also to bring new pulse of vigor and vitality through African pilgrimage. We hope to invoke through musical strategies, a new spirit of unity, exchange of culture and business in the global community of African American, the Caribbean, Europe and the world in general.
Africa finds itself at a point where public confidence in the state is in serious doubt. As a result of a variety of shortcomings in the management of public affairs, the state has become the object of widespread distrust. This is a situation that requires both fresh ideas and fresh approaches.
However, Africa as a whole is rich in culture and other natural resources, which unfortunately has not been properly tapped and mismanaged. Therefore, to promote the image of Africa all over the world is one of our primary goals as a contribution to the task of managing development. Above all, outside interaction and exchange of ideas needs to be changed so that it challenges individuals and institutions in Africa to take themselves seriously. This gives them back a sense of identity and direction.
Accepting the challenge is inevetible as Africa is on the road to a better future. Given the magnitude and complexity of the task, it would be bold to say that what needs to be done can be formulated and there is hope for it.
By seeking to make a significant difference in the area of bridging the gap, we hope to provide greater opportunities for many people across the globe (not just African-Americans or the Caribbean) to be able to travel back to their roots at least once in their life-time. This will greatly change the lives of many, forever.
Therefore, this is what makes the Back To Africa (BTA) so unique, dynamic and more strategic. It is time to accelerate the dynamic rich culture exchange of the motherland and provide safe opportunities for many to travel and experience the great hospitality and rich culture of the motherland, the cradle of civilization. This will profoundly transform many lives and open doors of exchange and continuity.
