OUR MISSION.
At Leading Change Africa, we firmly believe that the key to a thriving future lies in access to education and opportunities. Today, countless young Africans face significant barriers due to limited access to secondary and higher education—essential foundations for their personal growth and future contributions to society.
Imagine a world where equal education and opportunities aren't biased by location, finances, or political stability. A world where the youth of Africa don't view resource accessibility as a barrier, but a stepping stone for their prosperous future. We strive tirelessly to render this world a reality, our aim is to democratize education, nurture a new wave of exemplary leaders, and cultivate a mindset of entrepreneurship across Africa.
WHO WE ARE.
The fundamental purpose of the mission is to lay down the foundation for future change. Through a focus on leadership training, community service and resilience, mentorship, rural development, and entrepreneurial pursuits, our scholars are sculpted into leaders. This way, we're not just creating leaders; we're preparing people who can imagine and shape a better future. We make sure everyone who joins us becomes a powerful force for good, ready to make changes that will last for many years. Opportunities are not a privilege but a given. We work hard to make sure every young person can dream big and achieve bigger.
THE VISION
With a bold horizon set for 2030, we are on a mission to redefine leadership in Africa. We aim to cultivate over a thousand young Africans, transforming them not just into leaders, but into catalysts for positive change, setting the groundwork for a brighter, more progressive Africa.
​
​By empowering 1,024 determined minds with the skills, knowledge, and network they need, we are creating a ripple effect of impact, poised to reach and uplift a million lives by 2050.
We assert that values are the guiding principles in our lives. Leadership occurs within the context of our core values. Our leaders are expected to guide and facilitate others to make a positive difference in their own lives and to contribute to a larger good. Our values inform the application of leadership qualities as the competencies of leadership are activated – learned, developed, and practiced – within the set of our core values.
By focusing on what people believe and value, and then positively building on this understanding, we have the potential for impact far more wide reaching than if we approached leadership development as a problem-solving activity.

At Leading Change Africa, we are actively advancing several initiatives aimed at amplifying the voices of tomorrow.
