“I dream of an Africa devoid of prejudices, an Africa that fully embraces democracy and shuns

selfishness, an Africa free of debt and Africa where no one lacks food, homes are safe

children go to school instead of toiling in the fields. I dream of Africa where the libraries are full and the slums are empty. An Africa where, education is a right that everyone attains with

or without money. I want an Africa that gives

birth to the greatest innovators..”Female, 21, Nairobi
