Current Fon's Palace in Talla Village

Projects

Initiatives carried by the hands of the village.

Each project below is run by TADA volunteers and contributors. They are shaped to match the season, the need and the people available to lead.

Major project

Construction of a befitting Royal Palace

TADA is leading the effort to build a Royal Palace worthy of Talla's heritage and the dignity of the Fon. The palace will serve as a cultural landmark, a seat of traditional leadership, and a gathering place for ceremonies, meetings and visitors to the village.

This is our largest shared undertaking in recent years. Contributions of funds, materials, labour and expertise are warmly welcomed.
