Maina & Mwangi Trust

A Historic Platform for Cultural Renaissance

The National Agĩkũyũ Culture Convention (NACC) 2026 is organized by Maina & Mwangi Trust — dedicated to the preservation, promotion and advancement of Agĩkũyũ culture, spirituality and heritage.

"If a community does not tell and preserve its own story, others will tell it for them — and do so in ways that distort the truth."

The Convention will bring together scholars, cultural practitioners, community leaders, policymakers, women leaders and youth to shape the community's trajectory for the next 50 to 100 years.
