Mission
Africa Matters is a youth-led organisation committed to upskilling and empowering African youth to change their communities and African narrative through leadership, social entrepreneurship, and advocacy. We have impacted the lives of over 27,000 African youth and diaspora through our four flagship programs Africa Matters Ambassadors Program (AMAP), Schools Leadership Development Program (SLDP), ShE is Empowered Program (ShE), Youth Leadership Development Program (YLDP), events and social media engagements. Our flagship programs play a facilitating role in supporting African youth to value and understand the importance of advocacy, social innovation and entrepreneurship to conceptualise and implement solutions that directly address social issues in their communities. All of our programs are curated with Sustainable Development Goals in mind ensuring that African youth are #goalkeepers of the future they want for themselves, their communities, and the continent. Our programs focus on SDGs 1, 3, 4, 5, 8, 10, 13 and 17, encouraging youth to advocate and develop local solutions to local problems.
