How Naath.org Began

Naath.org was secured with a simple idea: our stories must not disappear. The domain was purchased to create a digital home for Naath identity, ensuring our oral history survives displacement, migration, and generational change.

Message from the Founder

“As a child, I grew up listening to elders under the moonlight — stories of our clans, heroes, migrations, and wisdom passed from generation to generation. Today, many Naath children live far from home and risk losing these traditions. The Naath Foundation exists to preserve our past and strengthen our identity, ensuring that every Naath child knows where they come from.”
