He fights with his team to engage and give voice to young Africans through free education and entrepreneurship by positively influencing their communities regardless of gender. social class, religion, culture or skin color.

” On February 20, 2017, after being shocked to see one of my former classmates leave school to help his family because he could no longer afford to pay for his studies because of his mother’s death, I was determined to create a non-profit organization to help those who do not have access to quality education and training. I bring together all my ambitious friends and teachers who had the same vision to develop the project on a very important scale. I’m working currently with UNFPA, UNESCO and Governments to establish a platform called ALFI LEARN which is in progress where multitudes of free training courses will be available in February 2018 “.

Babacar J Diop was raised for several years in Guédiawaye in the city of SHS before moving to Parcelles Assainies.

In 2016, he is the youngest leader to win the Best Entrepreneur of the Year award despite his spectacular failures with MEVEI CORP and Africabook Inc. under the chairmanship of former Minister of Communication of Senegal Moustapha Mamba Guirrassy.

As a young person, he remained an exemplary student and always a class leader in management and studies. He was seven years old, a phenomenon in terms of leadership, perseverance, hope, objectivity and relevance. He modestly always showed his touch of strong man of passage in the primary school, elected best student of the school “LES FILAOS” in 2002. On this momentum, he leads his small way where he wins with his team of the Sileye Guisse school the famous competition of leadership and general culture denominated “Gestu Senegal” of the price of the best educational institution with its sparkling answer giving them the victory in the final, in 2006, to the CEDEPS under the aegis of the president Abdoulaye Wade .

That’s what makes him a human rights activist nicknamed “The Young Community Organizer” given by his friend in 2015 Scott Hartley from Harvard University who followed him in his daily actions on social networks .

He was ranked 1st in a Youth Voice preselection under the leadership of 40 participants, which gave him the chance to represent the African Institute of Management during the 2nd season organized by Social Change Factory in May 2016 in Dakar.
