About Us
A platform for bold, informed, and united African youth. We’re not waiting for change — we’re building it together.
Who We Are
OwnAfrica.org is a youth-driven platform rooted in connection, support, and shared purpose.
We’re building a space where young Africans can come together, exchange ideas, learn from one another, and take meaningful steps toward shaping the future of the continent.
Our mission is to foster a supportive community that amplifies African voices, encourages collaboration, and drives positive change from the inside out.
Our Vision
To see a continent where young Africans are not waiting to be saved— but are supported, united, and empowered to shape Africa’s future with purpose, responsibility, and shared hope.
Our Mission
To challenge the narrative that Africa is lacking—by supporting and empowering youth with knowledge, community, and tools. We promote accountability, celebrate excellence, and encourage bold conversations that lead to real, lasting change.
What We Do
We curate stories and insights that shape Africa’s future. We create spaces for civic dialogue and community connection, celebrate excellence through storytelling and collaboration, and support youth-led action through education, campaigns, and peer networks.
Why Now?
Africa is no longer waiting. We are rising—country by country, voice by voice. But to rise well, we must rise together—supported, informed, and intentional.
This is where that journey begins.
“Until the lions have their own historians,
the story of the hunt will always glorify the hunter.”
— African Proverb
At OwnAfrica, we are the lions telling our own stories.
