About Amateka

Amateka is a digital initiative dedicated to preserving Rwandan history through ethical artificial intelligence, bridging oral tradition with modern technology.

Our Mission

History is not just data; it is identity. Amateka connects fragmented historical sources—colonial archives, academic papers, and the Ibisigo (oral poetry)—to create a unified, accessible, and verified narrative for future generations.
