  • Mission

    Bringing people together to showcase, educate, celebrate and share the diverse African cultures while fostering community programs that voice, advocate for and address African refugees and immigrants needs and disparities. A Glimpse of Africa mission is to ensure the African immigrants and refugees are visible, through advocacy, creating a sense of belonging, breaking language, cultural and systemic barriers. For a new American these essential needs, resources and opportunities are the difference between losing hope and having a thriving life as they set roots in West Michigan.
