Africa's Diverse Faith Landscape: A Force for Good

EAMU seeks to harness Africa's belief systems for the common good of Africa and the world. Suppose you are interested in working with Africans. In that case, be mindful of building your cultural and religious competencies. Interacting with Africa's multi-religious, multicultural communities is a rewarding experience that offers deep insights into diverse cultural and spiritual practices.
