The project features a one-week boot camp and an opportunity for the kids to implement a project to resolve a community problem.

2021 - Human Rights and Civic Engagement

I was nominated to be among the first set of visitors under the International Visitor Leadership Program (IVLP) to be invited to the United States by the US Department of State in collaboration with World Learning since the COVID-19 pandemic. As part of the program, we visited 4 states in America; the capital, Washington DC, Charleston, Columbia, and Atlanta, and learned more about the culture in America, its governance structure, civil and community engagement. We also visited various civil society organizations, authors, historical human rights locations, museums, and the Charleston State House.

Young African Leaders Initiative (YALI) Fellow

2021 - Leadership

The Young African Leaders Initiative (YALI) was launched by the United States government as a signature effort to invest in the next generation of African leaders. The need to invest in grooming strong, results-oriented leaders comes out of the statistics: nearly 1 in 3 Africans are between the ages of 10 and 24, and approximately 60% of Africa’s total population is below the age of 35. Who will empower and lead these young Africans? Who will shape the future of business and entrepreneurship, civic leadership, and public management? In order to answer these questions, YALI promotes three models designed to identify and empower young leaders: the YALI Mandela Washington Fellowship,YALI Network and now the establishment of Regional Leadership Centers across Africa.
