About

Ancient Path is a non-profit arts and compassion organization founded in 1998 to incite compassion, ignite hope and inspire action. For over two decades, we have used the arts to communicate God’s love and to lift the heads of the oppressed and marginalized here in the US, Africa, and Europe.

Our Work

Ancient Path artists have performed around the world in refugee camps and orphanages, South African theaters and European Cathedrals, as well as on the streets and stages here in the United States. We put cameras in the hands of impoverished children and trained orphan and women’s choirs in Africa – recording them live in concert, creating CDs at home in the Ancient Path studio. In collaboration with myriad musicians and technicians, we have also created and recorded music through the years and helped other musicians and artists bring their visions to reality. Here in Cleveland, we regularly collaborate with local artists and organization in a variety of ways, to support programs that empower children, including inner-city grief camps and performing arts events.

But, we are not only an arts organization…

In Kaliyeka Township, Malawi, Africa, we estimate that over 450 people come to Ancient Path weekly to participate in various programs, including: adult education, arts training, vocational training, academic tutoring, Ancient Path Academy (a pre-k and primary school), High School Scholarships, Ancient Path Kids (a feeding and basic care program for 200 children), and Ancient Path Community, our mentoring program that reaches the entire community and beyond. In addition, AP has an arts training, mentoring and vocational training program at Dzaleka Refugee Camp, located 45 minutes away from Kaliyeka
