African Proverbs

The African proverb’s project is a first in a series of initiatives aimed at making African wisdom more accessible to Africans and non-African around the world. Our first project is a book project that will be published by the end of this year (2024). 

The book - which is titled “The Good Life in Traditional Africa” reflects on the experiences of the Bakiga people, a Bantu-speaking culture that currently occupies Western & South-Western Uganda. These experiences, which were codified in the form of proverbs, and then shared through oral tradition, have many lessons to teach us even in our present world. 

We can’t wait for when the book is ready so that we can share it with the world.
