The future of Africa can be said to be one full of hope and providential, as young inspiring youth leaders continue to express exemplary distinctions and passionate desires to effect a constructive transformation in their communities and Africa at large.
Vandi Van Kawa, a nominee of the Future Africa Leaders Awards from Sierra Leone is one of these passionate young leaders. To improve the educational paradigm and mindset of young people, he worked with 30 Secondary Schools (both Junior and Senior) in promoting and educating them on a more excellent and effective way of investing in their personality and impacting their world positively. Inspiring materials such as The Power of Your Mind and Rhapsody of Realities were distributed. Over 20,000 young people were impacted.
Vandi Van established 25 Teens/Youth clubs among the 30 schools. This has encouraged interaction and development of common sense of productivity and juvenile relevance in and to the society via continuous training and guidance. This act was also extended to higher institutions of learning such as universities, vocational institutions and colleges.
He also provided basic needs for vulnerable children and orphanage homes and distributed materials, with God’s Word. Over 585 youth gave their lives to Christ through his community outreaches.
