About The Tiekie Box Project
Tiekie Box Project partners with descendant communities working tirelessly against direct and indirect threats to protect their marginalised heritage.
We invest in our communities by structuring our services according to the specific needs of the community and its goals for protection, preservation and promotion of the cultural heritage.
We support our communities by supplementing our service to include the advice of consultants and experts in the field of African Cultural Heritage.
As our communities’ holistic engagement with their heritage grows, so do the prospects for the preservation of African cultural heritage around the world.
Impact and Projects
The Problem
If the history of Africa was written in 100 pages, The Transatlantic Slave Trade would start at page 99.
95% of African Heritage is not on the continent due to the looting and intentional ethnocide carried out during the centuries long enslavement and trade of African people and colonialism.
