In honor of Dr. Martin Luther King, twelve middle and high school youths gathered on Martin Luther King Day for an enlightening session where they delved into his life and teachings, gaining insights into what it takes to be a great leader.

Under the guidance of our Project Manager, Akunna, these young minds engaged in meaningful discussions about their dreams and aspirations, crafting powerful statements that will guide them toward achieving their goals.

This gathering underscored our belief that children are indeed our future, and we feel incredibly grateful for the opportunity to empower these future leaders.

Reflecting on a momentous day, Mission Africa recently held its Annual Board Retreat, blending the best of both worlds with an in-person gathering at our office and a virtual option for our distant members. This year's retreat was brilliantly facilitated by Pamela Oakes from the Profitable Nonprofit🔗, who guided us through insightful strategies to advance our mission.

We want to extend heartfelt thanks to our dedicated Board members and staff whose commitment and service continue to be the backbone of Mission Africa.

Together, we've laid down strategic paths for Mission Africa's future,

strengthening our resolve to make a meaningful impact.

Here's to moving forward with renewed vigor and a shared vision!
