Highlights from the National Organization Development Summit - Day 2 We had the privilege of learning from top organizational leaders and social actors, which was an incredible opportunity for us. Recognizing the pressing need for fast-rising CSOs like ours to develop strategies that effectively convey our impact, we were thrilled to be invited to this summit. Key discussions focused on: ✅Showcasing innovation in action ✅Strengthening systems ✅ Deepening private sector collaboration for CSO and BMO sustainability ✅ Engaging AI in future development We're excited about the enhanced strategies and capacity-building insights we've gained, which will empower us to further our mission of supporting Nigerian youth through entrepreneurship and community development. Once again, a huge thank you to Palladium: Make It Possible USAID Sterling One Foundation SPACES FOR CHANGE Ford Foundation and all contributors to this transformative project and contributors for making this event possible. #SCALE2024 #CapacityBuilding #YouthEmpowerment #CommunityDevelopment #CSOs #BMOs #SustainableGrowth #NextGenLeadership #Nigeria #Entrepreneurship #PovertyAlleviation #Innovation #AI #PrivateSectorCollaboration

As we continue reflecting on the powerful conversations from The Africa Social Impact Summit (ASIS) 2024, one message stands out: Africa’s youth hold the key to the continent’s future. Mojisola Elizabeth Hunponu-Wusu, Founder and CEO, Woodhall Capital, reminded us that young Africans have the potential to build globally competitive businesses right from their home continent. But for this to become a reality, they need access to the right tools, mentorship, and guidance. The summit reaffirmed the importance of empowering youth to break free from traditional limitations. By promoting entrepreneurship and innovation, we can unlock the economic potential of Africa’s next generation of leaders. #ASIS2024 #SustainableDevelopment #Partnerships

A long working session in London with Bob Brinklow and my colleague Neda Riazi talking social media. Thank you Bob and the team at Rippleworks for making this happen. It's great to be challenged and then guided on our approach to using communication platforms that are changing so fast. I'd be fascinated to hear any thoughts you have on what you make of Project Maji online activity... - Is it frequently visible to you - do you find the content useful & /or interesting - what do you like (& not like) about it.

Have you ever stopped to consider who shaped the person you’ve become today? Your growth, your achievements, and the opportunities you've had were all influenced by the people who believed in you, supported you, and opened doors for you. Now imagine the lives that could have been transformed—but weren’t—because no one was there to do the same for them. Picture this: you board a plane, heading to a business meeting, trusting the engineers and innovators who made that flight possible. But what if no one had nurtured their talents? What if they had never been given a chance to thrive? The world we live in today—the conveniences we take for granted—were all made possible by people who were once given a fighting chance. And yet, so many children from underserved communities aren’t given that chance. What could the world look like if we invested in them, too? The unfortunate truth is, many of the problems we see in society today are the result of neglect. When we fail to lift up the next generation, we lose out on the brilliant minds and untapped potential that could lead us to a better future. But imagine if we could change that narrative. At The African Student Summit , we believe that every child deserves a seat at the table—regardless of where they come from. That’s why we’re embarking on a secondary school tour this quarter, bringing tech, entrepreneurship, and leadership education to young people in underserved communities. Our goal is simple: to equip the next generation with the tools they need to dream big, solve problems, and create a ripple effect of positive change across Africa. Because the future doesn’t just happen—it’s built by those we invest in today. More voices need to be heard. More dreams need to be realized. And it starts with us. Will you join us in this transformative movement? Together, we can change the trajectory of countless lives and, in turn, shape a brighter future for Africa—and the world. #EmpowerTheNextGen #AfricaRising #InvestInYouth #LeadershipForChange #TechForGood

𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗱 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗗𝗮𝘆 #𝟮: 𝗘𝗺𝗽𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗿𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 ✊ In the context of social entrepreneurship, 𝗘𝗺𝗽𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗿𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 is more than just a buzzword. It’s about giving individuals, especially young people and women, the tools, confidence, and opportunities to create meaningful change in their communities. Empowerment means believing that you have the ability to make a difference, no matter how big or small. 🚀 In Tunisia, we see this through the lens of youth-led projects, like those championed by Enactus Tunisia students, who are driving economic empowerment in their regions. They’re not just waiting for change—they’re creating it. 🌍 Let’s take today to reflect on how we can empower ourselves and others to push boundaries, challenge the status quo, and build a better future. 💪 #Empowerment #YouthLeadership #SocialImpact #EnactusTunisia #SocialEntrepreneurship #Changemakers #WordOfTheDay
