About Us
Shidaa Projects, Inc. is a Vermont based 501(c)(3) non-profit organization focused on cultural education and diversity through sharing West African dances, drumming and other activities. We do this in two ways; first by conducting workshops and residencies in schools, and second by dance drumming performances in community spaces.
Our workshops and performances include drumming, dance, fabric printing using Adinkra symbols, drum making, beading, and cooking.
These activities are created to include participants of all ages. We aim to support diversity projects that will foster cultural awareness that helps students and community members become better citizens with more empathy and understanding.
Workshops
Our workshops are resourceful means of introducing students and teachers to the knowledge of rich African culture and traditions.
Residencies
Our Residencies are specifically designed for school children from kindergarten through twelfth grade.
School Cultural Activities
Based on the grades of our target audiences, activities could range from simple “Anansi” story telling for younger kids, to dance drumming and choreography for older children.

Our Staff
Team Ghana
Following our deep passion for reaching the needy and less privileged in Ghana where various ethnographic challenges are confronted (not to mention the ongoing challenges the Covid-19 has created), the need for a strong, stable, & well organized local team is paramount. Shidaa Projects, Inc. is represented in Ghana by Team Ghana, a three member group of dedicated individuals with various philanthropic, human-centered, & customer-oriented project experiences. The team serves as a reliable bridge between goods shipped from the United States to the designated recipients (schools, children, students, and families) in Ghana.
