Nah We Yone (which means “It belongs to us” in the Krio language from Sierra Leone) offers culturally informed programs and services for distressed peoples from the various communities within the African Diaspora. These programs help facilitate their adjustment within the United States by the provision of pertinent information, the strengthening of community ties, wellness activities, and crisis intervention for adults, children and families.

Description:
Fambul Camp is Nah We Yone’s weekend culture camp for children of African descent, ages 5-16. The camp provides the children an opportunity to develop and retain positive images of their home countries, build bridges to their peers in their new homeland and simply enjoy being a kid. Activities include arts & crafts, African drumming & dance, sports and a cross-cultural exchange of ideas and experiences. Our theme for this year is “Building Community Starts With Me!” based on the idea that everyone can contribute to making their communities stronger.
