Kwanda is a village for those who want to build reliable and empowering systems for black communities.
Access to the village is granted via a monthly pledge, of which the minimum is £1. This contribution is used to fund projects, and grants you voting rights and an equal voice amongst villagers.
You can increase, decrease, or cancel your contribution at any time.
We use slack - a chat tool - for discussion amongst villagers. These discussions are where ideas are exchanged, opinions are voiced, and concerns are raised.
Projects are our primary method for creating impact in ways that are manageable and measurable. Projects are formed organically through discussion amongst villagers.
Projects eventually turn into programmes, businesses or infrastructure which provide sustained and permanent impact.

The Boa arts school has requested £500 in funding for their art classes.
All visitors have access to our village ledger which shows our bank transactions. This will give visitors a full view of our income and spending. We aim for 50% or more of our expenditures to be spent with black vendors.
Dedicated pots help to distribute village income into different focus areas such as health, education, business, or even geographical regions like Africa or the Caribbean.
Funds in a pot can be used by the village to execute projects, or made available to external individuals or companies who seek to create value for black communities.
