This is Imaani

Stichting IMAANI is a non-governmental organization established in The Netherlands officially in 2007. Imaani provides an avenue for Africans in the Diaspora ( Netherlands) to connect more closely with the African continent and collectively alleviate the ills of Africa and promote (amongst others) the positive side of Africa by ways of film making, documentaries, Charity concerts, Educative Symposiums, and other entertainment media.

...This is Africa	What Prompted us
	Recognizing the huge differences and sometimes similarities in both cultures and being equipped with collective careers in The Media Entertainment, (as Journalists, Presenters, Script writers, Producers, Directors, Voluntary workers and Event planners) has given the entire IMAANI team, the professional skills and expertise for this chosen foundation to be established in The Netherlands, and to make a difference in our society.
Africans In the Diaspora
Africans can be categorized into two main groups: - African-born, who are normally, domicile in the African continent. People of African origin, which due to enforced or self-chosen migration, were born or live in places other than their continent of origin as we have in the Netherlands. In the course of careers in the Entertainment Media, IMAANI has detected the many pitfalls that one can come across whist producing films, documentaries, Social or musical events of African interests. Be it on matters relating to native Africans living in the African continent or covering issues pertaining to people of African descent, who are scattered all over the world.

	The Discovery
	During our research, IMAANI discovered that there is a huge vacuum for complete entertainment projects that depicts the current realities in our communities, and the African continent in general. There should be plans for such projects that will document all genuine efforts to put Africa in the true light. Entertainment is the key to the soul of an African; it is an integral part of the African life and will be brought to the forefront through the activities of our foundation. Imaani intends to introduce the Dutch society to African Entertainment in its purest form.
