Stories that grow strong African hearts.
iGrawe uses stories, books, and conversations to help young people name their feelings, find their voice, and feel safe in who they are.
About iGrawe
iGrawe was born from a simple but urgent question: What happens to a child's inner world when their stories, emotions, and cultural grounding are ignored?
We are a narrative-based wellbeing initiative supporting African children and youth through culturally grounded storytelling, life-skills education, and community partnerships. We nurture emotionally grounded, culturally confident youth—centering African voices, dignity, and inner life at the intersection of identity, emotional health, and culture.
