Help Us Keep Indigenous Languages and Cultures Alive
At Indigenous Hands and Voices (IHAV), we are on a mission to document, promote, and preserve the rich linguistic and cultural heritages of indigenous and endangered communities. Language is more than just communication—it carries identity, history, and knowledge. Yet, countless minority and indigenous languages are at risk of extinction. Without urgent action, we risk losing centuries of cultural wisdom and expression.
Your donation to IHAV directly supports our work in early literacy, linguistic documentation, multilingual education, and digital language preservation. From our pioneering Indigenous Hands SignApp, which provides sign language literacy modules, to our efforts in documenting and promoting spoken indigenous languages like Igbo, Tiv, Igala, Ibibio, and Dine, we are dedicated to ensuring that no language is left behind.
