Africa is home to the largest youth population in the world, with 70% of its population under 30. This demographic phenomenon poses a ticking time bomb or a great opportunity for the continent and the world depending on how we address it.
Uganda, with 78% of its population under 30 is a stark example of this trend.
What if Africa’s young populace can be turned into her advantage?

Through our work in 6 years, 25 districts and 400 schools in Uganda, courageous untamed moral leaders are rising and defying the odds, to become the shapers, influencers and path-finders; guides that raise the bar, change the narrative, challenge beliefs, behavior, attitudes and status quo. They break free from all the shackles of a defeatist culture and create a new normal. They are the flames that burn to light a stranger’s way.

I’ve continued to understand that I am mentor, I’m not only a teacher. Iam a mentor, a model, I am a mirror, I am a builder of lives, especially theyoung people. This inspires me most."

I successfully started a community-basedorganization to help others find their potential through public speaking. I'vealso been able to live a more intentional life, always on the hunt for anopportunity to grow and help others..”
