Help us raise the next generation of African change-driven leaders

Our offer is simple. To each leader, a program. To Africa, the leader that program raises.

Our mission is to raise principled, change-driven servant leaders to pioneer Africa’s development and transformation.

TGLC is a non-profit centre for leadership and entrepreneurship in Africa. A place to grow, to dream, and to build.

A network of principled, change-driven servant leaders pioneering Africa’s development and transformation.

Our leaders build in five Impact Labs.

  • Business & Technology LabWe build ventures, create work and make digital tools people pay for.
  • Education & Skills Development LabWe learn a skill, teach it, and turn it into work, clients or partnerships.
  • Community Wellbeing & Social Advocacy LabWe serve our communities together, and invite every Lab into that service.
  • Media & Storytelling LabWe tell our stories through podcast, theatre, poetry and film, and carry the network’s voice.
  • Environment & Sustainable Development LabWe build practical climate, energy, water and waste projects that serve communities and earn income.

We believe life and all its blessings are gifts, freely given, and meant to be shared through service that makes every life better.

The Partnership Village

No one person or institution can raise Africa’s next leaders alone.

Our Partnership Village is a community of people who commit their skills, expertise and substance (cash or kind) to raising Africa’s next leaders.

To help Africa, we must help its youths. Our partnership village provides the opportunity for training, mentorship, skill and knowledge sharing, and supporting aspiring leaders in Africa to lead the change they so desire through leadership, entrepreneurship and community development.
