Dear Visitors,
It is with great pleasure and a sense of profound responsibility that I extend a warm welcome to Nelisa Awakening Africa (NAA). As the CEO and Founder, I am honored to introduce you to our organization, a catalyst for transformative change across the African continent. Africa is a land of immense potential, yet it faces significant challenges. We recognized the pressing issues of a growing skills gap, high youth unemployment rates, limited access to financial support for startups, and the need for practical learning experiences.

These comprehensive problem statements became the impetus for the establishment of NAA, with a vision to empower Africa’s youth and foster sustainable development. At NAA, we provide an integrated service offering that addresses these challenges head-on. Through our comprehensive model, we offer livelihood skills training, early venture capital financing, mental health care, and the preservation and promotion of authentic cultural heritage and cultural tourism.

Our aim is to holistically empower the youth, equipping them with the skills, resources, and support necessary to thrive in the modern world. Our unique value proposition lies in our commitment to delivering practical solutions that create both comparative and competitive advantages. We believe in practical learning experiences that bridge the gap between education and industry, ensuring our youth are equipped with the skills and knowledge that employers seek. By preserving and promoting authentic cultural heritage, we celebrate diversity and unlock new avenues for economic growth through cultural tourism.

To maximize our impact, we actively seek partnerships with like-minded organizations, institutions, and governments. These collaborations allow us to better serve the youth, leverage resources, and create a united front in tackling the complex challenges we face. Additionally, we welcome donors and sponsors who share our vision and understand the potential of investing in Africa’s youth. Together, let us embark on a journey of transformation and empowerment.

Join us in shaping a future where African youth not only overcome obstacles but thrive, contributing to the socio-political, economic, and technological advancement of our beloved continent. Together, we can create lasting change, unleashing the boundless potential of Africa’s youth and realizing a brighter future for all. Thank you for joining us on this remarkable journey.

Sincerely

Prof. Honore Dusabimana
