Young African Leaders SDG’s Change Ambassador Programme

"There is no more powerful transformative force than education—to promote human rights and dignity, to eradicate poverty and deepen sustainability, to build a better future for all, founded on equal rights and social justice, respect for cultural diversity, and international solidarity and shared responsibility, all of which are fundamental aspects of our common humanity."
Irina Bokova, former Director-General of UNESCO
