One Heart for Africa is a Chicago Based Forum. It was born in 2006 for the needs and desires to provide balanced information on Africa's matters, to bring individuals and communities together for a humanitarian gesture to humanita
rian causes and to celebrate Africa’s diverse cultural heritages. One Heart for Africa believes that nobody can tell your story better than you can, and it is time to break the silence, tell and write our own stories. As Chinua Achebe said, "If you don't like someone's story you write your own." We also believe, that One Heart for Africa has a role to play in dealing with humanitarian challenges, Africa is facing. Therefore, as an organization, we will serve and call our friends, families, and communities for their supports. As an African proverb tells it" If you want to go fast go alone, if you want to go far, go together.", join us! Finally, we will share our beautiful culture with the world, because we believe knowing is loving and you can't love what you don't know. One Heart for Africa is reaching out to you for your help, support and prayers. Come and join us in our activities, learn more about Africa and Africans, and open your hands and heart to help at the best of your abilities, because you are needed more than ever in this journey for Peace Love and Justice for Africa.
