(Collective work and responsibility): To build and maintain our community together and make our brothers’ and sisters’ problems our problems and to solve them together.\nUjamaa (Cooperative economics): To build and maintain our own stores\, shops\, and other businesses and to profit from them together.\nNia (Purpose): To make our collective vocation the building and developing of our community in order to restore our people to their traditional greatness.\nKuumba (Creativity): To do always as much as we can\, in the way we can\, in order to leave our community more beautiful and beneficial than we inherited it.\nImani (Faith): To believe with all our hearts in our people\, our parents\, our teachers\, our leaders\, and the righteousness and victory of our struggle.
