The Year of Return Africa initiative was launched with the express goal of empowering young entrepreneurship. Its sole purpose is to lead the new-age business owners to the doorway of financial independence.
African youngsters are starting to realize that solely depending on traditional job opportunities no longer serves them. As a result, a fresh generation of entrepreneurs has surfaced. A breed that bravely faces everyday obstacles and isn’t scared to venture beyond their comfort zone. This new generation of young businesspeople won’t give up until their goals are achieved.
What is the the Year of Return Africa (YORA)?
Back in 2019, the President of Ghana launched the Year of Return Africa campaign. The plan was to extend an invitation to the African diaspora. Through this, he hoped to engage Africans living abroad in healing and investing in their homeland. YORA Kenya 2024 will be a two-day conference taking place on October 10–11, 2024. Tickets can be bought on the Year of Return Africa official website.
