Welcome to The Great African Foundation, a dream born from the desire to see our beloved continent, Africa, thrive in all its glory. As the founder and CEO, my journey began back in my secondary school days at Tengeru Boy’s, where I recognized the power of youth-led initiatives in driving positive change. Today, together with a dedicated team, we continue to champion development, empower youth, and create a prosperous Africa for all. Join us on this remarkable journey towards transformation and excellence.
