The increasing role of youth in philanthropy and social change has become an undeniable force in shaping Africa’s future. However, building a resilient and sustainable youth philanthropy ecosystem remains paramount. The African Youth Philanthropy Network (AYPN) recognizes that effective collaboration, a shared vision, and the amplification of successful initiatives are essential to harnessing the full potential of young philanthropists and social entrepreneurs across the continent.

Considering this, AYPN, in partnership with the East Africa Philanthropy Network, cordially invites you to an exclusive AYPN Connect Breakfast Meeting on October 4th, 2024, at the Heron Hotel, from 8 to 11 AM. This will be a platform for youth leaders, philanthropists, and social entrepreneurs to engage in strategic dialogue, foster meaningful connections, and align their efforts toward driving long-term social impact. The objectives are:

• Networking and Collaboration: Facilitate high-level connections among young philanthropists, social entrepreneurs, and critical organizations to encourage collaboration and the exchange of innovative ideas.
• Awareness and Engagement: Elevate understanding of AYPN’s mission and vision while fostering increased participation and commitment among youth-driven organizations and individuals.
• Showcasing Initiatives: Highlight and celebrate successful projects and initiatives led by AYPN members to inspire and motivate continued innovation and impact.

The anticipated outcomes are strengthened relationships and collaborations among young leaders committed to advancing philanthropic and social change, heightened awareness and engagement within AYPN to foster a more robust and interconnected youth philanthropy ecosystem, and the development of new collaborative ventures and initiatives inspired by exchanging ideas during the event.
