On this African Union Day, we at Ntha Foundation join hands with millions across the continent to celebrate the establishment of the African Union (AU). This day is a testament to our shared commitment to unity, peace, and economic development. The 2024 theme, “Educate and Skill Africa for the 21st Century,” resonates deeply with our mission and ongoing efforts to empower African youth through education and skills development.
Honoring African Heritage
African Union Day is not just a celebration of an institution but a tribute to our rich heritage and the relentless pursuit of a brighter future. At Ntha Foundation, we take pride in our African roots and strive to preserve and promote our cultural heritage through various initiatives. Our cultural programs and workshops aim to instill a sense of pride and identity among the youth, ensuring that our traditions and values are passed down to future generations.
The theme for this year, “Educate and Skill Africa for the 21st Century,” aligns perfectly with the core objectives of Ntha Foundation. We believe that education is the cornerstone of sustainable development and that equipping our youth with the necessary skills is crucial for their success in the modern world. Our programs are designed to provide quality education and practical skills that prepare young Africans for the challenges and opportunities of the 21st century.
Our Initiatives
1. Digital Skills for Africa
In today’s digital age, proficiency in digital skills is essential. Our Digital Skills for Africa program focuses on equipping young people with the knowledge and tools they need to thrive in a technology-driven world. From basic computer literacy to advanced coding and digital marketing, we offer a comprehensive curriculum that prepares our youth for the digital economy.
2. Kwathu Kollective
This initiative is a creative space that fosters innovation and collaboration among young African entrepreneurs and artists. Kwathu Kollective provides a platform for individuals to showcase their talents, share ideas, and develop projects that contribute to social and economic development. By nurturing creativity and entrepreneurship, we aim to build a vibrant community of change-makers.
3. Other Programmes
- Nyenyezi Program: The Nyenyezi Program is dedicated to providing scholarships and educational support to talented students from underprivileged backgrounds. We believe that every child deserves access to quality education, and through this program, we help bright young minds reach their full potential.
- M’mawa Apprenticeship: This apprenticeship program offers hands-on training in various trades and professions. By partnering with local businesses and artisans, we provide practical experience and mentorship to young people, helping them develop valuable skills and secure employment opportunities.
Looking Ahead
As we celebrate African Union Day, we reaffirm our commitment to the AU’s goals and the 2024 theme. At Ntha Foundation, we will continue to work tirelessly to educate and skill Africa’s youth, ensuring they are well-equipped to lead the continent into a prosperous future. Together, we can achieve sustainable development and create a united, peaceful, and economically vibrant Africa.
