Nyeusi is a Swahili word. It means black.

No. None of the trustees of Nyeusi are paid to do their job.

It is Nyeusi’s intention to operate all over the world. However, due to limited resources, we are currently restricting the region that we operate in. Take a look on the UK Charity commission’s website in order to see the current list of countries where we operate.

Nyeusi has an open accounting policy, meaning that we are completely transparent about how your money is spent, with the full information being published on our website. We also intend to hold regular workshops where you can put your questions directly to the team.

Our website is in English because Nyeusi is a UK registered charity.
The website is in Swahili because Swahili is the official language of the African Union.

Swahili, also known by its local name Kiswahili, is a language used in Tanzania, Kenya, Mozambique and many other regions.

Our headquarters is currently located in London, UK.

Give Black December is a promotion to get people within the black community to make a specific commitment to giving back to our community for the new year ahead. The initiative was started by Nyeusi and is initiated every December. That is why it’s aptly named Give Black December.

Every year, unsigned artists are invited to write a song to help celebrate Give Black December. Winners and runner ups are normally given a prize. Find out more here.
