The conference is aimed at creating platforms for collaboration, driving positive change, and fostering sustainable development, has been slated for May 30.
Vimbai Butawu, the Chief Executive Officer of My Africa Child and Youth Development Organization, stated that the event will empower young people to showcase their talents and innovations.
The gathering will be graced by internationally renowned leaders, including Vusi Thembekwayo from South Africa, Ambassador Dr. Arikana Chihomboro-Quao from Nigeria and Ambassador Edd Branson among other influential dignitaries.
Butawu highlighted that while youth are Africa’s greatest asset, their potential remains “untapped due to lack of resources and mentorship.”
She emphasized the need for government, civil society organizations, and educational institutions to collectively unlock the immense power and potential that resides in the youth.
The youth trade fair is anticipated to catalyze youth empowerment, providing a platform for young people to display their talents and drive positive change in their communities.
