RCH works to bridge three big gaps in Zimbabwe's cultural spaces:

1. Access: Zimbabwe's cultural knowledge is not always accessible to young people from all walks of life, nor to artists seeking to be grounded in their roots;

2. Innovation: Our cultures' problem-solving potential in our communities is undervalued, often only being seen as entertainment; and

3. Creativity: Zimbabwe's cultures are sometimes rigidly defined within the bounds of the past, limiting their creative potential in the present and future.

Why Is Rayiro Culture Hub Important?

Our vision

We want to create a world where Zimbabwe's indigenous cultures are considered as assets that can better the lives of their communities. All our project center our simple philosophy that human connection can solve community problems. This is why we believe in creating access to cultural knowledge, driving innovation and inspiring creativity to transform people attitudes about their cultures.

Our mission

We use Story, Song, & Dance to create meaningful human connections. We collaborate with artists, students and cultural institutions to deepen the public's knowledge about Zimbabwe's cultures. Our social impact work in cultural conservation strives to ensure traditions remain authentic while also exploring innovative ways to share cultures in classrooms, through leadership and community programs, and cross-cultural exchanges.
