Learn about the Mathamba Descendants Progressive Union and our commitment to building stronger communities through togetherness and unity.

Our Story

The Mathamba Descendants Progressive Union (MDPU) was founded with a simple yet powerful vision: to unite the descendants of Mathamba in a progressive movement that celebrates our shared heritage while building a brighter future for our communities.

Born from the belief that "Togetherness is Strength," MDPU has grown from a small group of committed individuals to a thriving organization with chapters across the globe. Our members span from Freetown to London, New York to Toronto, creating a powerful network of support and collaboration.

Today, we continue to honor our ancestors while working tirelessly to create opportunities for education, economic development, and social progress in our communities.
