In Africa there are more than 400 million young people aged between the ages of 15 to 35 years, according to the African Union. The youth population is expected to continue to grow exponentially over the next two decades. In Malawi, more than 65% of the population is under 25 years old. There is no better time to invest in youth than now.

In honor of the 2022 conference in Malawi, CIMPAD is launching a new initiative in partnership with MUST (Malawi University of Science and Technology) to provide youth social entrepreneurs in Malawi with the financial and technical support to implement their business projects. We are asking you to join us in this effort by donating to CIMPAD’s Youth Social Entrepreneurship Fund.
