The Need

The African Youth Bulge is a tipping Point for Humanity.

Africa is home to the largest youth population in the world, with 70% of its population under 30. This demographic phenomenon poses a ticking time bomb or  a great opportunity for the continent and the world depending on how we address it.

Uganda, with 78% of its population under 30 is a stark example of this trend.

70%

of Africa's population is under 30.

Inspire

Creative Leadership, Involvement and Responsibility (learning by doing,  daring to become, so others can). Redefining possibility, raising the bar to create  aspiration and inspiration. Leaders who produce leaders and impact the next  generations. They raise the bar, create aspiration. They do not only do, they inspire.

Connect

Mentorship, Support of others and Collaboration. A network of support and guidance from peers and mentors as well as cross-disciplinary collaboration and problem-solving.

Our Impact

Through our work in 6 years, 25 districts and 400 schools in Uganda, courageous untamed moral leaders are rising and defying the odds, to become the shapers, influencers and path-finders; guides that raise the bar, change the narrative, challenge beliefs, behavior, attitudes and status quo. They break free from all the shackles of a defeatist culture and create a new normal. They are the flames that burn to light a stranger’s way.

A passionate poet and leader

Realizing the amount of potential one holds and actually acting on it might take some a lifetime, but with The Archers' League I was graced with like-minded individuals who ignited my purpose. I successfully started a community-based organization to help others find their potential through public speaking. I've also been able to live a more intentional life, always on the hunt for an opportunity to grow and help others.Jasmine Jamila
