It is the passion and concern by AIESEC in Africa leaders for the problems of unemployment, poverty, and HIV/AIDS that has given life to the Empowering Africa Program. This program has provided the foundation for three initiatives;
The Answers, Solutions, Knowledge (ASK) initiative which provides African Youth with a unique opportunity to develop and implement sustainable means of creating awareness about the deadly epidemic HIV/AIDS.
Another initiative African Young Entrepreneurs (YES) has made its contribution by empowering young individuals with the skills and knowledge to start businesses and generate wealth for themselves and their communities.
A third initiative, AfriTour is in 2nd year and its primary objective; to leverage on the rapidly growing tourism industry.
