Welcome To Garifuna University Without Walls

We live in several countries but we are one people. Our story is a great one and we shall tell it here for all of OUR PEOPLE! The Garifuna University Without Walls is an agency of the Garifuna Nation (GN), a non-political, non-sectarian, non-governmental international organization whose vision is to build a virtue-based, and economically sustainable transnational nation in which every Garifuna is provided with opportunities to maximally develop and apply their capacities in the process of participatory society-building. GariUWW is a key institution in the development of that world envisioned by the GN.
