Africa’s population, growing faster than any other, is projected to become the youngest in the world by 2030. This demographic shift — and the continent’s ability to harness it for economic growth and well-being — will be felt by the entire world. Investing in the education and skills of Africa’s young people — its emerging leaders — is vital to ensuring that the continent becomes a powerhouse of innovation and productivity. 

The foundation supports global initiatives that contribute to the realisation of this vision. We do this by working with institutional partners on initiatives that include scholarships, research, and outreach programs.
