A Language Facing Extinction: Reviving the Garifuna Language through the Arts

UNESCO (United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization) through its Endangered Language Program, has declared the Garifuna language an endangered language in 2001. Our primary focus at the GAMAE Arts and Culture are children, youth, and young adults. Ultimately, we work to revive and safeguard the Garifuna language by teaching it to young children through the arts.

GAMAE Arts and Culture: Safeguarding Garifuna Culture and Heritage

GAMAE acts as the instrument that brings together and connects the Garifuna from Belize to create programs and projects on a national, international and global level. Our main goal is to help with the Garifuna crisis of poverty, diseases, unemployment, and language loss, just to name a few.
