The Great African Foundation is a youth-led foundation established on June 16, 2020, with the dual aim of empowering young people to discover their purpose and channeling that purpose into building a prosperous Africa. Our major objectives include driving transformative change in health and nutrition, environment and wildlife, innovation, leadership, culture, and charitable endeavors. We believe that Africa, despite being the richest continent in resources, faces challenges rooted in a lack of opportunity and support for its people. Many Africans possess exceptional skills and talents capable of groundbreaking discoveries but lack the resources to realize their potential. Similarly, Africa’s abundant natural resources suffer from inadequate protection and management. This same issue affects health, where a devaluation of our natural foods contributes to prevalent health problems. We are convinced that by uniting with a singular voice and empowering our youth, we can elevate Africa to its rightful position and secure a brighter future for generations to come.
