education
To ignite an interest in Africa’s ancestral heritage at primary and secondary school levels by exposing educators and learners to general principles of scientific enquiries as they relate to humankind’s fundamental need to understand its roots and modern diversity.
research
To grow the capacity for African university students, professional scientists and technicians to manage and develop the African origin sciences in collaboration with international colleagues and institutions.
outreach
To promote to African and global communities the philosophical and practical relevance of developing the origin sciences.
PAST is a non-profit organisation dedicated to the preservation, protection and promotion of Africa's ancient natural and cultural heritage for the benefit of Africans and humankind in its entirety.
