The Foundation amongst its core ideals of discovering and promoting underrepresented stories also contributes to the preservation and promotion of rich heritage sites and cultures in Africa. 

The foundation is leading the course for a new line of documentarians who are charged to tell stories that transform through their work, foster education, gender equality, good health, peace and justice, tourism, entrepreneurship, a charity in Africa, and encouraging the inclusion and respect of authentic voices through the promotion and celebration of truth to power great documentaries.
