We have a wealth of social, relational, and financial capital in Africa that often goes unrecognized. It's time to stop auditioning for legitimacy; we already possess the resources and knowledge to drive our own development - Stigmata Tenga #EAPhilanthropyNetwork

Stigmata Tenga says “the APN network believes in the power of Ubuntu—'I am because you are.' It's about solidarity, inclusiveness, and accountability. These values guide our efforts in transforming the philanthropic landscape across Africa. #EAPhilanthropyNetwork
