We keep showing up, creating spaces where adolescents can discover their voices, grow their confidence and see themselves as. change makers.

Last week, we successfully trained 14 Facilitators in Tanzania through Modules 4 - 6 of the Movements Leadership Curriculum, in partnership with Msichana Initiative. Through this training, facilitators strengthened their capacity to support other eagles to:
* Navigate challenges with confidence and resilience.
* Take a holistic approach to their health and well-being.
* Build stronger communities through advocacy, participation, and active engagement.
For us, peer-to-peer learning is more than an approach. It’s about learning from one another, building each other up and passing on the knowledge.

Africa’s creative future is being built and our Eagles are flying right into it.

Last week, our Rwanda Eagles had the opportunity of attending the Africa in Colors Creative Summit, a powerful platform bringing together creatives, entrepreneurs, industry leaders, policymakers and investors to shape the future of Africa’s creative economy. Our Eagles immersed themselves in impactful masterclasses and gained fresh perspectives, practical insights and a deeper understanding of what it takes to build a thriving creative ecosystem.

One message stood out:
African cities are becoming powerful hubs of innovation. When policy, private sector investment and local talent come together, we create the conditions for bold ideas to move from imagination to impact.

Meet the Zimbabwe National Steering Committee.
These remarkable Eagle Sisters are championing the voices of adolescent girls across Zimbabwe, ensuring their experiences, ideas and challenges are represented where decisions are made.

Through comprehensive training in leadership, team management, outreach planning, conflict resolution and problem-solving, they have gained the skills and confidence to lead with purpose and drive meaningful change.

Here's to a new generation of leaders driving positive change across Zimbabwe.

Our Kenya Nurturing Eagles are already putting their training into action. Just weeks after completing their facilitator training, they have successfully delivered Curriculum Modules 4 - 6 to 222 Eagles across Theta and Sergoit Nests. Through these sessions, their fellow Eagles strengthened their resilience, enhanced their health and well-being, developed leadership and advocacy skills and gained the confidence to navigate challenges, make informed decisions, and champion gender equality in their schools and communities.

Herein lies the power of investing in young leaders to create lasting impact.

Today, our Movement joined the United Nations in South Africa, together with the Nelson Mandela Childrens Fund and Nelson Mandela Foundation to officially launch “Thando and Freddy’s Big SDG Adventure: A Journey with Tata Madiba.”

The children’s book introduces young readers to the Sustainable Development Goals through an African story that celebrates kindness, equality, inclusion and the power of young people to create change.

As we celebrate Mandela Day, we are reminding children that they are not just the leaders of tomorrow but changemakers today.

We are also excited that our Eagles contributed to this milestone as part of the books development process and launch. Their voices, insights and lived experiences helped shape a resource that speaks to young people in meaningful and relatable ways.
