The African Folktales Project is an open-source initiative dedicated to preserving and sharing indigenous African wisdom through storytelling. By collecting and disseminating traditional folktales, the project aims to bridge the gap between ancestral knowledge and contemporary society, ensuring that the rich oral traditions of Africa continue to educate and inspire future generations. This endeavour not only celebrates cultural heritage but also integrates indigenous perspectives into global education systems, promoting a more inclusive understanding of the world's diverse narratives.
