The Nubuke Foundation definition:
To contribute to social cohesion. To include a pan-African state of mind in all our concepts, activities, and practices.

Nubuke Foundation’s motivation:
The implementation of a multi-purpose platform is a necessity. It is fundamental to have a Ghanaian-owned institution that can surmount the breakdown of the structures through which cultural norms and forms would traditionally be transmitted.
