The #YouthGive Africa Contest is an exciting opportunity for young Africans (ages 14-29) to share their personal stories of generosity and community impact on a global platform.
Why This Matters
Africa has a deep history of generosity, but too often, these stories go untold. The YouthGive Africa Challenge aims to change that by collecting, documenting, and sharing these stories. We want to celebrate the old and new ways of giving, showing the world that generosity is as much a part of our future as it is our past.
Your story can help educate others about the rich traditions of African philanthropy, inspire more people to give, and create a more inclusive approach to generosity that blends tradition with modern life. By participating, you’re not just entering a contest – you’re helping to build a movement.
