I AM Because We Are
Our vision:
“To transform and inspire the youths of the African continent so that they become the builders of peaceful and prosperous nations where unity and harmony prevail in every field of social life”.

“To create opportunities whereby the African youths can learn and apply the values of effective transformative leadership in order to address the challenges imposed by globalization in the 21st century, thereby building peaceful and powerful nations across the African continent”.
We are:
- Committed to the view that every African citizen aspires to the values of peace, progress and prosperity, and that these are the utmost pillars for the stability of any society, and persuaded to the fact that the dignity of any African citizen, man and woman, young and old, is closely linked to these pillars;
- Dedicated to the fact that transformative leadership is the foundation of a just and well-organized modern State which can yield the three pillars of stability;
- Bound by the Constitution Act of the African Union, and by relevant international covenants and conventions which African Nations have ratified;
- Committed to the pursuit of the values that are underlined in the Agenda 2063 that Africa aims to achieve, that include the transformation of the African continent through the advancement of education, development, inclusion and diversity;
- Assented to the fundamental rights and freedoms of persons under the rule of law and committing ourselves to the protection of these essential values and their constant adaptation to the changing needs of the African citizens in general, and the youth and women in particular;
- Recognizing that human dignity in a democratic system requires that all citizens participate in designing, implementing, and evaluating national policies at various levels, as well as having full information concerning those policies;
- Moved by the feeling that each African citizen, and any person of African descent shall play their role in promoting development for their mother continent;
-
- - Linked by our forefathers’ view of Pan-African Vision of a unified continent for the Africa’s Renaissance,
-
- - Responding to the ‘Call to Action’ echoed by the African Union to realize the dream for a transformed Africa by 2063,
