TATENDA

Tatenda is a non-profit organization that has been set up to support and sustain traditional healers and their communities in Africa as well as helping to preserve these living cultures so critically endangered by poverty, inter-racial and ethnic conflicts and the demands and circumstances of modern life. In addition, Tatenda seeks to create dialogue and collaboration between practitioners of western medicine and the healing arts internationally for their mutual benefit and enlightenment. Tatenda is a Shona word that means "Thank You."

Our Goals:

  1. Provide opportunities for traditional African healers to collaborate with other healers around the globe as well as connect them with those in need of healing.
  2. Provide venues in which funds may be raised for these healers and their communities.
  3. Provide opportunities for western practitioners of the healing arts to visit traditional healers in their communities in Africa.
  4. Educate the public about issues relevant to the continued survival of the remaining traditional healing cultures in Africa.
  5. Create cultural exchange programs to provide healers the opportunity to teach in inner city schools as well as universities.
