The New Africa Foundation is at the forefront of addressing critical issues that impact Africa’s future, focusing on youth empowerment, the fight against miseducation, and fostering a sense of ownership and pride in the continent. The foundation's mission is evident in initiatives like the recent event held in Ghana, where youth from across Africa—and even the diaspora—gathered to hear a powerful message of empowerment.

Dr. Arikana, a renowned advocate for African unity and development, emphasized that Africa’s destiny lies in the hands of its youth. The gathering highlighted the urgency of tackling the pervasive miseducation that has hindered both African youth and adults, urging them to reclaim their narrative and their continent.

Among the key questions posed at this event were:
• How can we effectively address the miseducation of African youth and adults?
• What specific steps can African youth take to empower themselves and take back their continent?
• And how can the New Africa Foundation further support and amplify this empowerment movement?

These questions serve as a call to action for young Africans to recognize their potential and actively contribute to reshaping their continent's trajectory.

The foundation’s vision extends beyond motivation; it seeks to equip the youth with practical tools and resources to foster leadership and innovation. The emphasis on reclaiming Africa’s narrative resonates with a broader movement to decolonize education, enhance self-sufficiency, and inspire Pan-African unity. The youth's response to this call reflects growing momentum to take control of Africa's future and realize its immense potential in a globalized world.
