OUR STORY

African Leaders Factory Initiative, officially created in 2018, is a youth led organization counting thousands of young Senegalese & African civic leaders, social entrepreneurs, changemakers, activists between the age of 14 – 30 years old.

coming together to fight for real, lasting change.

📣 We’re mainly young community organizers, and we believe in the power of people.

African Leaders Factory Initiative (ALFI) is a pan-African organization that produces Emerging Leaders and Social Entrepreneurs equipped & trained to make positive changes in their different communities most importantly vulnerable areas left behind. ALFI is also an active network gathering of committed young people who share a base of values and the desire to look reality in the face to better transform it. This organization also put young people back at the heart of civic life. Its mission is to engage, train, connect the youth and promote its civic participation through an inclusive and impactful program designed with them and for them. Learn, develop and impact. We take the #LEAD2030🌍

ALFI delivers practical courses that will be able to develop youth’s skills, stimulate their creativity, have a deeper sense of entrepreneurship, and take initiative for sustainable development.

We know that real, lasting change requires more than righteous anger—it requires a program, and it requires ordinary people coming together to fight for the issues that matter to them. We believe that by acknowledging and nurturing the inherent power in all of us, we can work toward a more tolerant, just, and fair Africa and across the world.

➡️ We are today more than 5,000 active members across the continent to carry the Senegalese and African progressive project.

Our organizers

ALFI organizers are the members, and part of a long line of people who have stepped up to take on the big fights for social justice, basic fairness, equal rights, and expanding opportunity to everyone. They come from all walks of life—from students to community young leaders—but they’ve all got one thing in common: They’re making a commitment to their local communities. And wherever they are, ALFI is committed to ensuring that they have the tools, skills, and resources necessary to make the greatest impact.

That kind of progress is never easy. But

we’re not here for the easy fights.

We are more than 1.5 billion in Africa, and 65% of the population is really young so it’s important to understand that education is the base of every nation. Unfortunately, more than 55% of the population do not have access to education and are most of the time unemployed.
