This literary work, which has been written 15 years following the beginning of the Songhai activities, describes the goals of the Institute, and allows Father Nzamujo to present what Songhai is today and what he hopes it will become in the future.
Songhai resides in the heart of the man who understands what is at stake for Africa today. It is therefore a method of seeing the world, particularly Africa. It is a method of reasoning that comes from the earth and returns to it, having explored science, logic, cultural significance, and spirituality. It is also a community view that is constantly refined by the sharing and debating of positive and negative experiences in a manner that avoids harsh criticism and arrogance.

Songhai is therefore an avenue of training and initiation for men and women who wish to become proactive - who refuse to spend their time complaining about the negative aspects of Africa, but who decide to roll up their sleeves and work with what they have been given. It is for these people that Songhai offers a place to live with dignity and to develop.

Far from pretending that it is THE MODEL to follow, the author signals that it is merely one proposition for those who seek to triumph in life over death. For those who hope that tomorrow will be more just and fraternal if each person invests the best of himself regarding the African development perspective.
