Two people, one conviction: Africa's future belongs to its young people.
Vision to Impact Foundation was founded by Dr Bridget O. Menyeh and Emmanuel Leslie Addae — and built on a single, stubborn belief.
Every movement begins with a conviction held by a few people stubborn enough to act on it. Vision to Impact Foundation began with two.
Africa is the youngest continent on earth — and yet so much of its future is decided in rooms its young people never sit in. Dr Bridget O. Menyeh and Emmanuel Leslie Addae had each spent years working to change that, from different directions. One brought the discipline of strategy, sustainability and innovation; the other, years of convening Africa's boldest conversations and putting a microphone in front of the people the future actually belongs to. When their paths met, the idea was obvious: stop planning Africa's future for young people, and start imagining it with them.
That conviction became Vision to Impact Foundation, and its flagship platform, Africa We Want — where young Africans take the stage to imagine the continent's next fifty years, connect with the leaders shaping it, and build the skills to act.

Connect on LinkedInThe future isn't decided in speeches. It's decided in conversations — so we make sure young people are in the room for them.
From conviction to capability.
Vision to Impact Foundation launches to do one thing well: create the spaces where young Africans imagine the future, connect with those shaping it, and build what comes next. This is the beginning — and there's a place in it for you.
