Abstract
This article, published on November 21, 2023, details the Mastercard Foundation’s "Speak Your Mind Challenge 2023", held during the Baobab Summit. During this challenge, scholars were recognized for using their voices to create positive change, based on the theme: "Using our voices, shaping the world". Key winners focused on urgent issues across Africa. Yohannes Bimrew brought renewable energy (HuluSolar) and agricultural technology to rural Ethiopia. Margaret Andoh launched "Precious Scholars" to mentor disadvantaged Ghanaian youth. Ritah Arishaba advocated for sexual health and supported survivors of sexual violence and human trafficking in Uganda. Other powerful submissions addressed climate action (Rock Agon), mental health stigma (Chabi Soubo Faridatou), and disability inclusion in arts and fashion (Ngobi Ambrose, Roza Abrham Abate). Collectively, these stories showcase the transformative power of young leaders in driving equitable and sustainable development.
