Through the DHEGGA platform, the Festival empowers 1,000 Heritage Envoys—100 from each of the ’s ethnic-lingual groups—to champion the UN Sustainable Development Goals. These youth and women ambassadors amplify KwenuKulture’s cultural voice on global platforms, advocating for climate action, gender equity, peacebuilding, and sustainable livelihoods. By connecting heritage leadership with global goals, the Festival ensures that KwenuKulture’s youth are both local custodians and global citizens, linking grassroots realities to international commitments.
