Africa

Africa has gone through many changes over the years, from the era of vibrant and diverse cultural kingdoms during the pre-colonial era, to the colonial era and finally the era that lead to the gradual decolonisation of Africa. Since these dynamic periods, many changes have occurred across Africa in terms of infrastructure, education, science and technology, religion and tourism.

Sub-Saharan Africa in particular has seen remarkable but not enough change through her history; as a result it is far behind the world in general in various aspects. This has split the sub-Saharan society in two, the first part comprising of the elites or the higher class who live in an overabundance while the second part is comprised of the masses that live with an insufficiency of resources to survive their day to day life.

As an African, I am passionate about the renaissance of an Africa devoid of drought, pictures of malnourished children and issues of corruption relating to our political circles. It is time for the rebirth of a sub-Saharan Africa where entrepreneurship, technology, and the powerful youth drive a change worth discussing in the global sphere.

For this reason, I am happy to support the development of positive change that presents Africa in a new light and dimension in collaboration with others, through the foundation, other initiatives, projects and programmes. Such projects could range from reshaping the view and image of our diverse cultural heritage to shedding light on our rich cultural background in areas such as our cuisine and tourist sites; thus helping shape the values that make us African.
