Root Nine Foundation and Institute (R9) – GivingTuesday Message
The Root Nine Foundation and Institute (R9) is the official philanthropic arm of the Royal House of Sori, founded by Her Royal Highness Princess Karen W.S. Brengettsy-Chatman. As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, R9 is dedicated to uplifting, restoring, and empowering individuals and communities across the globe. Its name honors the nine children of Prince Abdulrahman bin Sori and Isabella, whose legacy represents countless voices and histories that have been silenced or erased.
On GivingTuesday, Root Nine invites supporters to join its mission of restorative justice, cultural preservation, and global empowerment. Contributions help fund:
The Root Nine Research Collaborative: A global consortium of historians, anthropologists, genealogists, linguists, and archaeologists working to recover suppressed narratives and illuminate Africa’s enduring influence on world civilization.
Educational programs: Lectures, workshops, and cultural exchanges designed to inspire communities and foster understanding across generations.
Manuscript and heritage restoration: Preserving historical documents and cultural artifacts that tell the stories of marginalized peoples.
Community empowerment initiatives: Projects that uplift underserved populations through education, cultural identity, and leadership development.
💡 Why Give? Your support ensures that forgotten histories are restored, cultural identities are celebrated, and communities worldwide are empowered to thrive. Every donation on GivingTuesday amplifies Root Nine’s mission to bring light to hidden legacies and build a more inclusive future.
