LEADING A CULTURE REVOLUTION OF SOCIAL GOOD

The goal of the WANA project is to reshape the perception of the world towards Africa and also to inspire and break mental, physical, sociological, and psychological boundaries that can hold back the African child from reaching their full economic potential.

This is how the world sees Africa

This is what the world doesn’t see

THE ‘OLD’ NARRATIVE OF AFRICA HAS BEEN BLEAK AND LIMITING

Hindering the full realization of Africans’ talents & opportunities • Fracturing the diaspora • Depriving the world of a vast array of creativity and innovation

Change the VISION

Change the MESSAGE

Change the METHODS

Change the WORLD

Facts:

Currently Africa makes up 17% of the world’s population yet garners less than a 5% share of the global GDP and over 50% of the population exists in extreme poverty. Africa is the foreign investment fast growth final frontier but little of those monies are ‘trickling down’ enough to tangibly effect the economic wellness of the people Disproportionately impacted by lack of resources, education, and opportunity are disadvantaged youth and women. Their abilities and potential are not appropriately recognized nor realized so they cannot contribute as fully as they might to the transformation of society.
