Transforming Communities through Cultural Reclamation and Innovation
At W3AVING W3BS, we are committed to building a $5 Trillion Reparations Economy through advanced services in communication and financial systems, global stewardship, and ecosystem building. Central to our methodology is KindeziCare™, an innovative approach rooted in the ancient Kôngo art of Kindezi, or communal care.
What is KindeziCare™?
KindeziCare™ is based on the centuries-old tradition documented by Dr. K. Kia Bunseki Fu-Kiau, a scholar with credentials in Cultural Anthropology, School Administration, Library Science, and Education & Community Development. This tradition emphasizes that every community member is a "living sun," responsible for the well-being of others.
The KindeziCare™ Methodology
Our approach leverages the principles of design thinking—a non-linear, iterative process that includes Empathize, Define, Ideate, Prototype, and Test. We integrate these principles with Black-Indigenous design thinking to create solutions grounded in Indigenous African oral traditions and communal care.
