Frequently Asked Questions

What is AfroGem?

AfroGem is a community that connects children of African descent across Europe through cultural education, shared experiences, and local meetups. We help young Africans stay rooted in their heritage while growing up abroad.

Who can join AfroGem?

AfroGem is open to all African parents and guardians living in Europe, who wish for their children to connect with their cultural roots. Both children and parents can participate in various ways.

Is AfroGem a dating platform? 

AfroGem is not a dating platform — unlike conventional dating sites, we focus entirely on connecting African families and children through cultural heritage, community-building, and educational engagement, not romantic relationships.

What age group does AfroGem cater to?

At the moment, we are focused on children aged 3 to 16 years. We segment our programs by age for more effective interaction and cultural learning.

What kind of activities does AfroGem organize?

We organize both in-person and virtual activities such as:

• Language classes (e.g., Amharic, Hausa, Swahili, Yoruba, Zulu)

• Cultural storytelling sessions

• Traditional dance and music

• Cooking African meals

• Art and craft workshops

• Heritage days and family meetups

How does location-based matching work?

Our algorithm uses your registration details to connect you with other African families in your locale, state, and country. This allows for more relevant, convenient, and consistent community interaction.

Is there a cost to join AfroGem?

Basic registration is free. Some events or specialized programs may have small participation fees to support logistics and materials. We also provide volunteering and sponsorship opportunities to reduce costs for families.

How can I contribute or volunteer?

During registration, you can indicate your willingness to help. You can contribute by hosting meetups, teaching a cultural skill, helping with logistics, or fundraising. We welcome parents who want to take part in shaping the community.

How is AfroGem different from other African community groups?

AfroGem focuses specifically on children’s cultural connection. Our community is structured, location-specific, and program-based, offering regular opportunities for kids to learn and engage while tracking participation and growth
