On August 1st, 2025, we officially launched the Ntha Foundation as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit in the United States — marking the beginning of a bold new chapter in our mission to empower youth through creativity, innovation, and education.
Held at Archer Hotel in Redmond, Washington, the evening brought together an extraordinary community of supporters, partners, and change-makers — all united by a shared belief: that talent is everywhere, and opportunity should be too.
From the bottom of our hearts — thank you.
Why We Gathered
The U.S. Launch Gala was not just a celebration; it was a call to action. For the past seven years, the Ntha Foundation has trained over 10,000 learners across 20+ African countries, built the e-learning platform digitalskillsforafrica.com, and reached over 500,000 people through campaigns that amplify youth voices and talent across the continent.
And yet, our work has always been done without a permanent home.
That is changing.
This gala kicked off our fundraising campaign for the Kwathu Innovation & Creative Centre (KICC) — a creative and innovation hub being constructed in Mangochi, Malawi. Once complete, KICC will serve as the beating heart of our programs — a space where young people can gather, learn, collaborate, and create solutions to the challenges they face.
An Evening of Purpose and Possibility
Throughout the night, guests were immersed in stories of impact, musical performances by some of Malawi’s most beloved artists through our Music4Malawi campaign, and a powerful vision for what lies ahead. We reflected on our journey, recommitted to our purpose, and laid the foundation for a future where every young African has the tools, support, and community to thrive.
This Is Just the Beginning
We are immensely grateful to everyone who attended, donated, partnered, and cheered us on. Your presence was more than symbolic — it was fuel for the work ahead.
As we build the Kwathu Innovation & Creative Centre and continue scaling our digital programs, we invite you to walk with us. This is a long-term mission. One that will take many hearts, hands, and homes.
Want to Support?
You can become a part of our ongoing mission by:
