MBECUDA America stands for Mbei Cultural and Development Association. It is a non-profit and non-governmental organization formed in 2006 during our first ever Mbei convention in Minnesota. Special thanks to MBECUDA Minnesota for making it possible for Mbeiians to realize the importance of togetherness. MBECUDA is here to stay, and there is no turning back.
