About us
Her African Culture is an African Community Based Organisation preserving African cultural heritage and empowering girls and young women through digital skills, responsible AI, storytelling and cultural-tourism innovation.
Her African Culture exists at the intersection of culture, community, technology and tourism.
We work with elders, griots, artisans, storytellers, cultural practitioners, young people and local communities to document, protect and share approved cultural knowledge in ways that respect consent, attribution and community authority.
Through training, digital storytelling, heritage projects, tourism innovation and mentorship, we help girls and young women become cultural storytellers, digital creators, tourism innovators and ethical technology leaders.
We believe African culture should not only be preserved for the future. It should also shape the future.
Our focus areas
01
We use digital tools to document and preserve approved oral histories, community stories, recipes, proverbs, songs, place-name histories, crafts and other forms of cultural knowledge. Our approach recognises that cultural heritage is not only found in monuments and museums. It also lives in people, languages, memories, landscapes, families and everyday community practices.
02
We create practical learning opportunities for girls and young women to build skills in digital literacy, responsible AI, research, media, storytelling, design, leadership and entrepreneurship. We want girls to participate in shaping technology — not simply consuming it.
03
We transform community-approved knowledge into respectful digital stories through audio, video, photography, writing, animation and multimedia. Every story should preserve the voice, dignity and identity of its source community and knowledge holder.
04
We help young people explore how technology can improve cultural-tourism experiences without replacing communities, guides or human connection. Our work supports ideas such as heritage trails, digital interpretation, multilingual audio stories, cultural discovery platforms, local-language tools, food maps and community-based tourism experiences.
