Our Mission

The African Kinship Reunion (TAKiR) is a pioneering research project that harnesses the power of genetic testing, genealogical research, and social science to help people of African descent reconnect with their ancestral roots and long-lost family members scattered by the Transatlantic Slave Trade.

Through advanced genetic testing, genealogical research, and social science methods, we strive to uncover the hidden connections that bind us all. By combining cutting-edge science with a deep understanding of the cultural and emotional significance of family reunification, we seek to empower individuals to rediscover their heritage and forge new bonds across continents and generations.

At TAKiR, we are committed to providing a safe, secure, and supportive environment for individuals to explore their genetic lineage and connect with their long-lost relatives. We adhere to the highest standards of privacy, data protection, and ethical research practices to ensure that our participants' personal and genetic information is treated with the utmost care and respect.

Our vision is a world where every person of African descent has the opportunity to know their true origins, embrace their rich cultural heritage, and build meaningful relationships with their extended family. By participating in the TAKiR research project, you are not only embarking on a personal journey of self-discovery but also contributing to a larger mission of healing, reconciliation, and unity.

Join us on this transformative journey as we work together to bridge the past, embrace the present, and build a future where the bonds of family and culture transcend the boundaries of time and space.
