“Thanks to the Ubuntu Fellowship, I now collaborate with peers across three countries on a sustainable, climate change, and smart agriculture-based project. To be honest, ALEN’s Fellowships and Leadership journeys have been such a great gateway to building meaningful and impactful connections, mainly in Africa.”

“Before joining the DLLP, I lacked confidence in presenting my ideas. Through the DLL leadership engaging sessions, panels, and discussions that I have been part of, I have developed not just my leadership skills but also a renewed belief in myself. Now, I’m leading a community initiative to support early and adulthood education for underprivileged children, dropouts, and advanced youth in both Dar-es-Salaam and Arusha Regions.”

“Becoming an ALEN Ambassador gave me a platform to amplify youth voices beyond my home country. Through this role, I’ve engaged in leadership forums and mobilised my peers, especially at my home University, to engage in social impact projects with the support of ALEN.”

“The Ubuntu Fellowship was a life-changing experience. I met people from diverse backgrounds, and the cultural immersion opened my eyes to the shared challenges and unique opportunities across our continents. It reinforced my commitment to promoting unity and understanding through education.”

“Participating in the Eco-Innovators Challenge ignited my passion for environmental conservation and management. Following my engagements with ALEN programs, my project on recycling plastic waste into building materials won ALEN’s “Seed Funding”, which has enabled me to start a social enterprise tackling plastic pollution along the coast in Mombasa.”

“The Sustainable Development Forum brought together change-makers from around the globe. I left inspired, with not only practical tools to launch a clean energy project in my hometown, Adis Ababa but also connected enough to collaborate with like-minded young leaders from almost around the world.”

“As an ALEN Ambassador, I’ve grown as a leader and built a network of like-minded individuals who are passionate about driving change. The training and support from ALEN have been invaluable in my journey.”

“The ALEN Annual Summit is like no other event I’ve attended. It brings together leaders from different walks of life to share ideas and inspire action. I left with a renewed vision for my nonprofit and actionable steps to achieve it.”

“My remote internship with ALEN was a stepping stone to my career in international development with a focus on Africa as a geographical region. The hands-on experience, coupled with mentorship, helped me secure a full-time role even before my contract ended in a leading NGO in Central Africa.”

“Volunteering with ALEN allowed me to contribute to meaningful projects while honing my project management skills. It’s been one of the most fulfilling experiences of my life.”

“The sustainable tour gave me firsthand exposure to successful eco-initiatives across Africa. It inspired me to replicate similar projects in my country.”

“ALEN’s Leadership Events are unmatched. They empower young leaders to think globally while acting locally, which is critical for solving today’s challenges in my perspective.”
