ABOUT US
HISTORY



The Wisconsin Mandingo Association of Milwaukee
(WIMAM), Inc. was founded in the year 2000 by Liberian
Mandingo residents of Milwaukee, Wisconsin for the
purpose of grouping Mandingo to attend to the needs of
one another as a community and to preserve the
Mandingo culture and traditions.  

During this time, this organization was called the Liberian
Mandingo Association of Milwaukee LIMAM.  As the
community gets larger through new Mandingo descents
every day from other West African countries, the
association was restructured and centralized to include
other Mandingo, and then the name LIMAM was changed
to the Wisconsin Mandingo Association of Milwaukee
(WIMAM), Inc in 2002.

Since the formation of WIMAM, she has served as the
corner stone for uniting the Mandingo community in
Wisconsin and bridged with similar brother associations
nationwide.  WIMAM has engaged in community activities
such as baby showers, graduation programs, inaugural
programs, charitable contributions, social and non social
events, to meet the needs of her members and the
community at large for the betterment of the community.

WIMAM is also engaged in bigger dreams and looking
forward to better futures such as extending the
association worldwide, reaching her helping hands to
suffering brothers and sisters back home in Africa.
