Volume One

Who will lead Africa? Forward, onward, fully into the land of its potential.

Into the realisation of the dream of prosperity held by so many for so long for the countries in this place we call home.

Again, we ask, Who Will Lead Africa?

On 25 May, Africa Day 2017, the We Will Lead Africa team launched our first collection— capturing the inspirational stories of 30 everyday African leaders who are doing work that is having an impact for the change and transformation of the continent.

Volume One speaks to action and practice. It gathers the stories of those who have a deep interest in or connection to Africa, and have been stirred to action that is making a difference—stories about leadership in and for Africa.

The stories in this volume cover a range of industries and topics for Africa’s advancement including:

• 8 on Literacy and Education
• 8 on Social Entrepreneurship, Change and Policy
• 5 on Arts and Culture
• 4 on Healthcare and Wellness
• 4 on Media and Communications
• 1 on Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM)

Thank you to each of the contributors who make up this collective story of leadership across Africa:
