KUKATONON Bridge
UBUNTU! I am who I am because of you. As such, KUKATONON!
The word KUKATONON is a word from the Kpelle language, widely spoken in Liberia. The word means “We are one.” The Kukatonon Bridge program is inclusive in nature and focuses on establishing connections with Liberians in the diaspora and in Liberia. This will position the foundation as a global voice and lead to opportunities for community building, investments, and development beyond borders. To assure its vibrancy, non-Liberians will be invited to join as partners, participants, and supporters of this program to help foster learning and partnership building across the globe.
We foster global connections for investments, advocacy, learning and sustainable development to increase impact for women empowerment, poverty reduction and social cohesion across the globe.
