ABOUT

Africa on the Blog is a multi author blog  by people of African heritage and is sponsored by Babs Saul and Sarah Arrow.

This blog was inspired by  Ida Horner‘s desire to provide a space to Africans in the diaspora to tell their stories . Ida contacted Sarah Arrow who is successfully running BIRDS ON THE BLOG and run the idea of setting up Africa On the Blog alongside BIRDS ON THE BLOG. The idea evolved  and we decided to open it up to all people of African heritage wherever they are in the world.

So why read our blog

  1. you might be interested in the side of Africa that the popular media will not right about
  2. you might be a friend of Africa
  3. or simply curious

The  big deal for us here  is  we as  Africans telling our stories in  our own words as well as talking about issues that affect us!

Oh and any of the revenue raised from advertising here goes to the Perfect and Princes the two girls we sponsor in SW Uganda.
