Who We Are

Reviving Africa's Culture of Sustainability

The Wega Foundation believes that sustainability has always been part of African culture, rooted in communal stewardship, resource conservation, and intergenerational responsibility. The current environmental and socio-economic challenges are not due to a lack of sustainable practices but a shift away from indigenous wisdom.

To address these issues, sustainability efforts should be tailored to Africa's unique context, incorporating local knowledge. Wega Foundation aims to revive and preserve Africa's sustainable legacy for the future.
