Empower, Inspire, and Sustain the Dagara Culture

Your donation to the Zangala Foundation revitalizes the rich cultural heritage of the Dagara Tribe in Burkina Faso. Our annual Balafon Festival (Festival of Performing Arts of the Schools of Ioba [FASIE]) is a cornerstone of Dagara cultural celebration.

Why Your Support Matters:

• Regenerating Cultural Legacy: FASIE allows young artists to express their creativity through traditional Balafon, dance, folk choirs, ballets, storytelling, poetry, archery, and more, fostering a strong cultural identity and keeping Dagara traditions alive.

• Empowering the Next Generation: The festival provides a platform for students to master traditional instruments like the Balafon, flute, and drum, crucial for their intellectual and personal growth.

• Building Community and Social Cohesion: The festival enhances social cohesion and peace by bringing communities together through shared cultural experiences, instilling pride and love for their heritage.

Your Donation Will Support:

• FASIE Balafon Festival: From transportation and logistics to prize monies for winning teams, your support enables us to provide a world-class festival for local tribes and communities.

• Educational Programs: We commission local artisans to create Balafon instruments for local schools, offering young Dagara children a rich educational opportunity and encouraging active participation in community events and rituals.

• Community Development: Your contribution helps the local population derive economic and social benefits from the festival and educational programs, strengthening their cultural identity and fostering community solidarity.

Every donation makes a difference. Join us in our mission to regenerate the ancient wisdom of the Dagara people. Together, we can inspire, educate, and create a brighter future for all.
