Thanks for checking out how you can get involved in the Jumpstart Africa project!
Africans need to be able to provide, and take care of their continent themselves. We strongly believe that education, mentorship, reliable support systems, competition in entrepreneurship and innovation, a manufacturing and consumption of "Made in Africa" as well as access to C-level executive positions in well established organizations are the keys that will help empower African talents and help move Africa forward.
