Let's give African and diasporic communities the tools to exist, create and thrive online. Let's participate in building this common good that reconnects, unites and resembles us. Every support counts.
Dive into the heart of the project that aims to transform Africa's online presence and build the Pan-African Digital Home.
Our future web spaces already bear their names. Preserved like ancestral heritages, they remain veiled until their official revelation during the ICANN submission, to protect their integrity.
