ARGM stands for African Renaissance Grassroot Movement
‘I am not African because I was born in Africa, but because Africa was born in me’ (Pres, Kwame Nkrumah,Ghana)
VISION STATEMENT
Continental resources primarily for people of African descent to eliminate poverty, to promote peace and foster unity for a better Africa.
ARGM’s vision for Africa is the realization of our potential as One Continent and One People, masters of our own destiny and natural resources to be used first, and foremost to benefit our Continent by eliminating poverty and hunger, creating sustainable peace, fostering greater unity and equity. Future generations of Africans, deserve a legacy where every State in Africa is a stakeholder and beneficiary of a thriving Continental economy, where our educated professionals and youth choose to stay instead of being forced to leave for economic or political reasons. An African Continent where the unique, diversity of cultures, languages, faiths and traditions is a source of Continental pride, ultimately binding together Africans, Africans in the diaspora and our brothers and sisters with African roots in the spirit of Pan-Africanism/‘Ubuntu’; ‘I am because We Are’, ‘I am what I am because of who we all are’.
MISSION STATEMENT
To inspire and nurture the human spirit of “Ubuntu” Pan Africanism, one Africa, peace and economic prosperity.
