TYA asks for your support for our Obaa Bunu Project. We are partnering with the Presby Model School of Bonwire, Ghana to collect and donate feminine hygiene products for girls ages 9 through 17.  Our donations will help to reduce school absences, improve overall health & wellness and boost the confidence of adolescent girls.  

 

We are asking everyone that purchases a ticket to please bring a new item to donate to the project. A list of suggested items are below.  TYA will ship all donations directly to the Presby Model School in Ghana.  Thank you in advance for your support!

 

Items to Donate:

Pads, feminine wipes, body soap, shaving razors, hair products, underwear, (panties & bras), toothbrush & toothpaste, shoes/sandals/sneakers (all sizes needed).  

 

SANKOFA! by Taratibu Youth Association

This show acknowledges and honors some of the lessons of our path and how we, in the diaspora have incorporated them over the years and now. We tell the story of the Tulsa Massacre, West African young woman’s Rite of Passage, South African Apartheid and select stories through the decades for African Americans. Join us for a celebration of the resiliency and greatness of our people.
