Botho definition

Botho means “I am because you are.” It is a value of our people, of how we define being human on this side of the world. When I came back home I decided to resuscitate this value, realizing it has remained in a vacuum and has largely disappeared from our daily practices. My commitment is to resuscitate this spirit of community reliance again through the AfroBotho Foundation.
