Young People by 2030
Africa has more than 840 million young people. Aequitas Foundation believes that every single one of them deserves a fair chance at life.
One million is not a ceiling — it is a starting point. Through five strategic pillars, we are building the infrastructure to reach, equip, and empower the next generation of African leaders at scale.
