Donate Today! It takes a village!!

PVD World Music Institute, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization founded by African Refugees and immigrants in Rhode Island. Our mission aims to promote, celebrate and enrich the musical traditions and arts of African refugees and immigrants in Rhode Island for present and future generations. Take, for instance, the Inanga, once the national instrument of Burundi. Today, its mastery is known to only a select few.  PVD World Music has been tirelessly working to raise awareness across Rhode Island, organizing over 50 concerts per and four African Film and Art Festivals as of 2023.

 

Our commitment to preserving traditional African music and arts, exemplified by our Inanga Heritage, is unwavering.  To ensure the continuity of our efforts, we rely on your support. Your contributions will empower PVD World Music to sustain impactful programs in music, arts, film, and education. One compelling aspect of our vision is the opportunity to expand our team by engaging youth from the refugee community. By doing so, we aim to pass on these cherished traditions to the African youth, ensuring a legacy for generations to come.  We invite you to become a vital part of our growing community. Your donation today will play a crucial role in preserving and sharing our diverse heritages with the world. Join us in this meaningful journey towards cultural enrichment and empowerment. Donate now and help us make a lasting impact.
