BANTUNOMICSPartnership
Mission-aligned funding · invite-only

Partner with us to build the language layer 400M people are missing.

This is the non-commercial partnership track — for grant, philanthropic, and impact funders, not AI labs. Fund the foundational Bantu-language infrastructure that lets AI finally serve the people it leaves behind — built ethically, from the community's own voices.

Why it's fundable

Public-good infrastructure, not a product.

Reach

400M+ people speak Bantu languages — the languages of banking, schooling, and clinics across sub-Saharan Africa. Today's AI quietly fails them.

Ethical by design

Every recording is by a native speaker who is paid and gave explicit consent, via the amina.ai "Our Words" platform. Built with the community, not extracted from it.

Durable

The operating alphabet is a permanent asset every future application reuses. Foundation-first — what you fund keeps compounding.

Verifiable

The L26 benchmark and open articles let you see the gap and the progress. Impact you can measure, not just assert.
