About Us
Africa Matters Initiative (AMI) exists to upskill and empower Africa’s Youth to create the world they want for themselves, their communities, and the continent. We are building African leaders and empowering them to change their communities and own their narratives. One of our core beliefs is that 'We are the ones we've been waiting for.' It serves as a reminder that young Africans have the power and capacity to take hold of their futures, and inspire a ripple affect to the rest of the continent.
