I am most passionate about helping young people find their purpose and maximizing their potentials that can create a multiplier positive impact in local communities in Africa.

 

"Africans have created a huge border in their minds. This is not the physical border controlled by governments but borders created out of the things (opportunities and solutions) we do not know about other African countries. This is distorting a huge potential of collaborations, knowledge transfer of working solution models, new markets for entrepreneurs and job creation" -  Gideon Odijie

 

Because of my great concern for social impact projects in communities and entrepreneurial growth & development in Africa (which can not only create the very needed amount of jobs but also reduce social vices as well as transfer working solution models ), I led some young brilliant people across Africa and started building platforms that can help young people connect and spread impact. 

 

The One Young World Summit (Taking place this year in Ottawa, Canada), which has been referred to as the "Young Davos" gathers together and connect the brightest young leaders from around the world with global leaders, industry experts, global decision makers, etc empowering them to make lasting connections to create positive change.

 

After a strong application to attend the summit as an independent delegate (Not sponsored), i was selected from among over thousands of people from across the world.

 

The One Young World is a great opportunity and platform for me to share my Ideas for Africa and get the very needed support from global and industry leaders in the likes of Sir Richard Branson, Kofi Annan, Emeritus Desmond Tutu ,  Arianna Huffington as well as connect to many brilliant people that can greatly help this vision.

 

Unfortunately I am not funded by any sponsor (Delegate fee and Flight tickets) to the summit but i believe you and you reading this can help take me and my Ideas for Africa get to the summit. From as little as $1 to $50 or more  from you can help me get there. Please help me impact my dear continent Africa and give the next generation a better future.

 

THANK YOU! MERCI ! OBRIGADO !
