For generations, descendants of Africans born in the Diaspora have longed for a place in their Ancestral Homeland-Africa, to which they could relocate and claim their historical Right of Return. This longing, at least for a limited number of pioneering persons, can now be satisfied as FIHANKRA has acquired a tract of land in Ghana, West Africa, and is now offering it to Diasporans (descendants of Africans born in the Diaspora as a direct result of the trans-Atlantic slave trade), worldwide.

As remarkable as this offer of Land is, it has been made possible as a result of a set of equally remarkable developments (1) the cooperation of the chiefs and people of the Akwamu Traditional Area, in Ghana’s Eastern Region, who agreed to make the land available for resettlement and development, and (2) the persistence of a small number of Diasporans, both in Ghana and the Diaspora, who have, for years, sacrificially dedicated themselves to ensure that this Search for a Place would become more than merely a longing, but a material and spiritual achievement.
