What do Kenya, Tanzania, Ghana, South Africa, Nigeria, Malawi, Zimbabwe, Japan, Belgium, Germany, Sweden, Canada, the Netherlands, the UK, and the USA have in common?

They are home to people who have joined the Friends of Pambazuka and made a donation in the past two weeks. To our new Friends, thank you for your support and welcome to community of Friends. You are the first of many.

To all our other readers: we hope you will accept our invitation to join us in helping to build and support movements for social and political transformation. To do this we need to keep Pambazuka strong, free and independent.

The tribe of Friends is growing, but it is not complete. We need the rest of you – across the African continent and around the world to show what Pambazuka News means to you.

If you think that Pambazuka is important, if you find what we do useful, if you like the materials we publish in Pambazuka News, then join the Friends of Pambazuka with a donation today.

Together we will celebrate and support African voices for freedom and justice. Together we will dare to invent the future.

Don't take Pambazuka for granted. Become a Friend of Pambazuka. To find out more, write to us at [email][email protected]
