We are so thankful to the @CityofCT who grasped our vision years ago & gave us the clubhouse space to use as a safe haven for vulnerable kids; as well as to Alderman @VosJames who represented the City and shared his exciting vision for community development and economic growth.

By 2030, the year of the SGDs, young Africans will make up 42% of the world’s youth, and account for 75% of those under the age of 35 years on the continent. This kind of asset brings immeasurable progress. @ahunnaeziakonwa @UNDP #YALI10 #AfricaDay
