ACRI is an International NGO registered in Kenya that aims at promoting African cultural values that Africa can use for her development today as well as for lending to the emerging global family. ACRI's activities capture and document African Culture through serious research that aims at conserving gathered information through print, film, audio and video.

The Institute, herein after referred to as ACRI, aims at promoting African culture by way of identifying relevant indigenous cultural values that Africa, can use for her own development today as well as for lending to the emerging global family, by way of Basic Education. Today, useful indigenous African cultural values have been eroded by westernisation, modernism and postmodernism to the extent that the new generation of Africans hardly know or care about their traditions in spite of the fact that these may be valuable cultural assets for humanity as a whole.
