Supporting young people to lead social change in their communities
About us
Peace First is a global incubator for youth led social change. We believe every young person - no matter where they come from - should be able to access the resources to make social change, so our programs are free and open to all young people between the ages of 16 and 30. By providing guidance for projects, mini-grants and regular support to young people who otherwise might not be able to access them, we expand the circle of youth changing the world. We trust young people as experts facing issues in their communities. We believe in their power to create impactful solutions and we provide global access to training, mentors and funding to turn their ideas into action. More than 27,000 young people from 164 countries have joined our digital platform. And through our global call to action, we have helped to create more than 13,000 youth-led social innovations impacting 100,000’s of people globally. We believe in youth leadership. 65% of our team is made up of young people who are exemplary social change leaders under the age of 26. These leaders, our Fellows-in-Residence, are accountable for program delivery in every region of the world - MENA, Sub-Saharan Africa, UK/Europe, Asia/Oceania, Latin America, US and Canada. But that’s not it - half of our Board is comprised of young people under the age of 30. Join the movement! #TogetherWeCreate

Congratulations, Mathias! 🎉 What an amazing achievement! A testament to the impact AkoFresh is making in creating sustainable food systems. We're excited to see what’s next as you continue to scale and drive meaningful change. Wishing you and the team continued success ahead! 🌱✨
Humbled, grateful and inspired!❤️ Such an incredible honor to announce that AkoFresh ™️ has been awarded the 2024 Global FoodTech Award under the United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO) Director General’s Award! We received the First Prize in the Distribution and Delivery Category for the UNIDO Global Call 2024 during a special ceremony in Seoul, Korea as part of the World FoodTech Expo and World Food Conference. This recognition reminds us of the impact of staying committed to solving problems that matter. When we started AkoFresh ™️, the vision was simple: to combat post-harvest losses and create sustainable food systems. Along the way, we faced countless challenges—technological hurdles and resource constraints but we were resilient! The 2024 UNIDO Global Call highlighted how technologies like IoT, AI, and robotics can reshape the future of food systems. It is humbling to know that our IoT enabled solar-powered cold storage solution, designed to reduce food waste in rural farms is part of this larger movement for towards sustainable food systems. To every partner and individual who have been on this journey with us, we appreciate YOU. Counting on your support as we scale our work in the coming months. #FoodTech #Sustainability #Innovation #UNIDO #AkoFresh #UNIDOGlobalCall2024 #SDGs #ClimateAction

Grateful Beyond Words! I had the privilege of attending a private changemakers hangout with the CEO of Peace First , Isaac Cudjoe, PhD and a group of incredible social entrepreneurs. What started as a meaningful conversation about our work turned into an unforgettable moment—I was gifted a MacBook to support me and the work I do with my social initiatives. Although it was difficult following through with conversations, the messages I could catch were pure gold. I always love to be with people doing the same things I do and even better! Their insights and passion were truly inspiring, and I left the meeting feeling both challenged and encouraged. To say I’m surprised and grateful would be an understatement. This gesture reminds me of something I’ve come to learn on this journey: People are watching, but the key is to stay authentic and keep doing what you’re passionate about. Your impact speaks louder than you realize, and sometimes, recognition comes when you least expect it. Thank you, Peace First, and thank you so much Dr Cudjoe for believing in me and in the work I do. To everyone out there: Stay true. Keep building. And remember, someone, somewhere, is rooting for you. #thatMankessimGirl #DowntownGirl #DowntownRevolution #TBF #Mbasiafo #Gratitude #SocialImpact #PeaceFirst #Changemakers #KeepDoingYou
