The 1Billion Man!
"Contribution to children, world peace, and/or human rights".
Today i share with you what one individual in a small nation such as Ghana is doing to better not only his nation, but his continent as a whole!
His name is Prince Adu-Appiah!
As a young leader, Prince Adu-Appiah made two crucial discoveries early in life; that good leadership is his passion and that Africa’s major advancements forward require good leadership. With a strong desire to commit to the leadership he felt so deeply connected to, Adu-Appiah initiated making connections and forming relationships with those around him in Ghana.
Soon after, he began leading and volunteering in many youth empowerment and leadership development groups, committees and organizations including The Human Empowerment and Living Potentials Group, Oxbridge Africa Mentorship Programme and Hult Prize at the University of Ghana.
To further his impact in empowering fellow Africans, Prince Adu-Appiah founded 1Billion Africa, a movement developed aiming to solve Africa’s greatest challenges. This movement seeks to turn the '1 billion' problems in Africa into '1 billion' projects to empower and create opportunities for Africans. 1Billion Africa seeks to embark on key projects for social change and transformation and is currently in nine African countries with the help of country ambassadors.
Adu-Appiah is a TEDx Accra 2015 speaker influencing 1000 youth and children of Ghana and other African countries through his leadership roles, commitments and article publications. He was honored with the Unsung Hero People of Distinction Humanitarian Award in New York City for 1Billion Africa and community based initiatives.
Through his work and service as a leader Adu-Appiah sees what he does not as a temporary occupation but rather, a life-long commitment and firmly believes that are more than capable to transform the world if they commit to excellence, leadership and innovation.
