About
The Youth's Wave
Youthing Africa was founded on the belief that Africa’s greatest asset is its youth. With over 60% of the continent’s population under 25 and 70% under 30 in Sub-Saharan Africa, the energy, creativity, and determination of young people represent a powerful force for transformation. We exist to channel that force into positive action.
We do this through events, impact storytelling through, advocacy campaigns and innovation hubs.
Our work is diverse but driven by one core mission: empowering youth to lead change.
