What We Do

The NwTF is dedicated to championing African languages in reading, writing, and grassroots innovations across the arts, sciences, and technology.

We aim to promote and empower African languages as crucial vehicles of expression, communication, and cultural preservation, fostering a sense of pride and identity among African communities. 

Our driving goal is to place African languages at the table of languages as contributors to the linguistic wealth of information and as reservoirs of knowledge.

KEY OBJECTIVES OF THE NwTFM
