LEADERS IN 10 AFRICAN COUNTRIES BY 2050
Our Vision

Our Mission
To train at least 1 million leaders in 10 African countries by 2050
OUR AREAS OF FOCUS
AFRICAN WOMEN
The uniqueness of our flagship program - the African Women’s Leadership and Mental Wellbeing Course (AWLC) – is that it focuses on the interface between leadership and women’s mental well-being.
AFRICAN YOUTH
Working with African universities, ALT is securing Africa’s future by training the continent's future leaders for a life of service and meaning.
FAITH CHANGEMAKERS
In partnership with the Lake Anglican University (LAMAU) and Theological Education by Extension Zambia (TEEZ), ALT is transforming African faith leadership with a view to transforming communities, shifting them to a whole new level.
WHY ALT?
At the ALT Foundation, we’re on a mission to democratize leadership education — and we’re not doing it alone.
Technology is a valuable ally and is helping our passion: exploring the essence of leadership, the being of leaders.
Our approach doesn’t just level the playing field; it puts the controls in your hands. Leadership isn’t an exclusive club. It’s for everyone. The truth is, many of us don’t see ourselves as leaders (yet).
We define leadership as the act of creating a future that wouldn’t exist unless someone envisioned it and brought it to life. That’s the magic: leadership is open to anyone with a sound mind.
What Sets Us Apart?
At ALT, we’re committed to leadership transformation. But here’s the twist: transformation isn’t about change in the usual sense. Transformation isn’t just rearranging the room. It’s about unlocking new possibilities.
Imagine asking: How could this room shape the future of our family, our business, our country, or even our continent? That’s the kind of thinking we inspire.
Why Africa?
We’re wildly optimistic about Africa. Where others see challenges, we see opportunities, untapped potential, and boundless possibilities. Transforming leadership is the key to building an Africa that works for everyone — and it’s not a distant dream. It’s the space we’re actively creating. We are the clearing for an Africa that works for everyone.
The future of Africa depends on its leaders — leaders like you. Together, we’re shaping a continent filled with opportunities, potential, and hope. Let’s create a future that works for everyone.
Focusing on Mental Wellbeing to Unleash Africa's Women Leadership
The uniqueness of our flagship program - the African Women’s Leadership and Mental Wellbeing Course (AWLC) – is that it focuses on the gap between women’s mental well-being and stepping into leadership.
African women face numerous challenges, often hidden from view; many leadership programs don’t address challenges that relate to the discrimination and trauma women go through. It’s no wonder that, while half Africa’s population is women, this is not reflected in public, private or non-governmental sectors.
Started in 2020 as an online course to address challenges women were facing during the Covid pandemic, the women’s program has expanded to deal comprehensively with emotional and mental well-being African women leaders face.
The women-designed, women-led designed and for-women-only course has seen 10 editions benefit over 1,000 women from 35 different countries over the past three years.
Central to the course is the integration of leadership principles with mental wellbeing, framed within five distinct modules that help participants address the challenges unique to African women. This approach underscores the importance of fostering women’s leadership from the inside-out, focusing on emotional resilience, personal integrity, forgiveness and abuse of power.
Transforming Leadership: Powering Faith Changemakers for Higher Calling
The Certificate in Leadership and Faith Changemaking (CLFC) is an online inter-faith course designed to support spiritual innovators or “faith changemakers.”
Faith changemakers are individuals who have a Divine Call or feel led to bring about a particular change in society. Whether you are in working in the private sector, the non-profit sector or in full-time ministry, the the course leaves you with clarity about your Divine Call. During - or by the end of the course - you will know the action you need to take to respond to or advance your Divine Call.
The course was designed by top academics and thinkers from leading African universities in Kenya and South Africa, theologians (from Zambia, Malawi, and Nigeria) as well as marketplace leaders. It includes the Map of Meaning from New Zealand, which has been delivered globally for over 20 years. Participants are awarded two certificates, a CLFC and an Introduction to Map of Meaning for Faith Changemakers Certificate.
