About Us / Contact

We are a community-driven organization dedicated to the commemoration and celebration of Keti Koti, marking the abolition of slavery in the former Dutch colonies on 1 July 1863.
Keti Koti, meaning “Broken Chains”, stands as a powerful moment of remembrance, reflection, and collective healing.
