Welcome to the first public appearance of the website for the American African Nuru Foundation.  Since this is the first version of this website, you can assume that everything here is still under construction.  Normally that fact would not be sufficient to require a message like this one since most websites are constantly undergoing updates and additions. However, as we approach the sixth anniversary of the attacks on Sept. 11, 2001 you might be surprised to learn that in many ways, the existence of this foundation is a result of the events of 9/11 and the reaction to those events by a remarkable man from Kenya, Kimeli Naiyomah and his home village. Once we get legal permission to include copyrighted material on this website, we will post the story here, but until we resolve those issues, feel free to use the following link or perform your own search for the story of the events following 9/11:

Kenyan village response to 9/11

In the long run, if the true legacy of 9/11 is actions like the ones made by the residents of a small village in Kenya or the creation of a charitable foundation such as this one, then the sheer cruelty and evil that people can commit against each other is repudiated by the basic decency and humanity that I believe is the true nature of people, (despite the large number of counter examples found in the daily news).

Over the next few weeks and months we will post more detailed information about the people of AANF, the projects AANF is undertaking, the progress of those projects, and ways that you can get involved if you wish to.

The AANF would like to give a special thank you to the folks at SoulofAmerica.com for giving us additional exposure via a link on their website.

Feel free to send comments, suggestions, etc. to the webmaster.
