Cultivating Transformative Leaders for a Resurgent Africa
At ImpactAfrica, we firmly believe that the crisis of leadership is at the very root of Africa’s challenges, and, critically, that the solution lies in a profound leadership reconstruction. Our Leadership Development program is therefore a strategic cornerstone of our mission, deeply committed to addressing this deficit by cultivating both robust leadership values and practical skills in every young person. We are dedicated to building the capacity of each youth to lead effectively—be it in their classrooms, families, communities, or within organizations. We are convinced that by redefining leadership and nurturing a fresh breed of transformative leaders, we can collectively rewrite the African story, fostering an Africa free of corruption and led with unwavering integrity.
We accomplish this through a multi-faceted approach, offering comprehensive leadership training for churches, organizations, and individuals, ensuring our reach extends across various spheres of influence.

2. History Makers Training (Annual Mentorship Program)
The History Makers Journey (HMJ) is a one-year annual program run with the objective of equipping 20 passionate and visionary young people. The 20 carefully selected youths are a product of a rigorous selection process from countrywide applicants.
The focus of the training is:
- To help young people become more confident and clear about their vision and purpose.
- To help with a professional strategic planning process for young visionaries that facilitates the growth and establishment of young talent and leadership.
- To provide aligned mentoring and guidance that grows young visionaries.
- To create a network of young leaders and visionaries for the cross-pollination of ideas and resources.
- To provide experiential and professional teachings and leadership from other successful leaders.
Applications to the HMJ open in July and close in October, and the class is established by November.
There is nothing as powerful as walking with a network of young people who dream as big as you do. In a single year, young visionaries have an opportunity to grow their dreams intentionally and objectively. They set goals, pursue them, and track their growth alongside our staff teams and their mentors.
