MwanAfrika enlists the voluntary services and support from prominent figures as Goodwill Ambassadors and Advocates to shine a spotlight on important issues affecting access to quality education for African children.

These well-known individuals are at the top of their field—whether it’s film, television, music, art, sports or academics—with talents and achievements that have made them household names. They all share a commitment to helping marginalised African children access quality education.

Through their far-reaching platforms and influence among audiences that transcend national borders, our celebrity advocates raise awareness and mobilize support to help us ensure that marginalised African children have access to quality education.

Celebrities attract attention, so they are able to focus the world’s eyes on the needs of marginalised African children, both in their own countries and by visiting field projects and emergency programs abroad. They can make direct representations to those with the power to effect change. They can use their talents and fame to raise funds and advocate for children and support our mission to ensure every marginalised African child’s right to education is protected.
