Join us for a transformative 3-day Diaspora Experience as part of Ete Dza 2025 (New Yam Festival) — a sacred celebration of gratitude, unity, and ancestral renewal in Hedzranawo–Denu, Volta Region.

This year’s theme, “Honoring the Harvest, Restoring Our Roots,” invites members of the African Diaspora to reconnect with their ancestral homeland through culture, ceremony, and community engagement.
