As the sun was setting on the Bambara village, Nia, a young African girl, was sitting under a mango tree, her eyes sparkling with dreams.

Her dream was not just for herself. It was the dream of an Africa, it felt like it was born in her. The idea of a united Africa with opportunities for peace, and prosperity for all. The beauty of this idea flooded her mind and soul with Hope for "the Africa we want to see".

This young dreamer envisioned a future where no child would be deprived of the gift of education. The opportunity to learn, be mentored and made aware of the ability for each child to be everything they were born to be.

The Africa she dreamed of, technology was not a luxury, but a tool accessible by all. A equaliser that meant that I could be educated right in my village where I was and have the choice to stay and build or go out and build. She dreamt of innovations and technology that was build specifically for the beautiful continent she knew. Technology that could bring innovations that would be used the world over MADEINAFRICA.

In this utopian vision, she saw the beauty of African cultures being celebrated, not suppressed. The patterns and designs of the national wear were worn proudly the world over. These beautiful designs where understood, explained and highly sought after.

The girl looked into the future and saw a land where people lived in harmony with nature. Where we understood how to dwell together in unity and built thinking about the next generation of humans and animals alike.

She closed her eyes, visualizing a future where the continent was a beacon of hope and prosperity for the world. A shining example of what it meant to "dwell together in unity".

She imagined schools in every village where all children, irrespective of their gender, had the chance to learn. To connect with each other and learn from the generations before them of their local roots and history. While also having a virtual connection to the world. Growing up knowing I can be anything and everything I want to be and all that can be found both in here and out there.

Caring teachers nourished the young minds, raising them to be leaders of an enlightened Africa. With positive stories of how we have overcome and where we are going inspiring each child on the road to personal purpose.

With every bit of knowledge gained, Africa became brighter, stronger, and smarter. There was a generation that decided it was time to see the change we have been talking about and we are willing to take up the mantel.

She saw hospitals equipped with the latest technology serving their communities passionately.

Diseases were no longer the cruelest destiny, but challenges overcome by African resilience. Where we were empowered in medicine and health.

She visualized cities with skyscrapers, where technology was used efficiently to advance the lives of the citizens. Places that the future was possible and a reality of today.

Here, in her dream, technology was not a threat, but a companion that helped in achieving sustainable development. Joining minds to find the right solution to every pain point.

She saw people celebrating African cultures, languages, dances, and traditions, in every part of the continent. As we embraced each other the patterns came together and created beauty!

Her Africa was a place where difference was celebrated, not frowned upon. Finding your uniqueness and call was a joy to all.

The beautiful landscapes, wildlife, and the natural resources were preserved and treated with respect.

In her dream, Africa was not just a geographical boundary, but an emotion, a feeling of unity and love.

An Africa where children grow up with stories of glory, success and resilience. Not of hunger, poverty, and conflict but opportunity, love and unity.

Where every citizen was proud of his or her African roots, and was ready to give back to their community.

She saw an Africa where opportunities were abundant, and dreams were nurtured.

In her dream, the girl saw herself, making real changes, inspiring her fellow Africans. We can "Be" the change we want to see. It is inbuild in all of us, let it out fear not. Let it shine.

She would lead the way to the Africa envisioned in her dreams, the Africa her continent deserves to be.

As Nia woke up from her dream, she carried with her the Africa she had envisioned – united, prosperous, and at peace.

Her dream wasn't just a mere fantasy. It was an aspiration, a mission that she pledged to fulfill her part in the call. "But I have sure faith that I will experience the Lord’s goodness in the land of the living!" -Psalm 27:13

Her dream was Agenda 2063, a strategic vision for the future of Africa that she would strive to realize.

And with that, she rose with the breaking dawn, ready to turn her dreams into reality, one day at a time.

She knew it wouldn't be easy, but she also knew she was not alone. She stood on the shoulders of great leaders. Our freedom fighters and with her fellow powerful brothers and sisters walking together to see the vision fulfilled, The determination in our eyes said we ready for everything good everything prosperous, everything of good report.

Her dreams and aspirations of a united, flourishing Africa gave her the courage to take the first step towards her mission.

And so, the journey of Nia and her dream Africa began, a journey that echoed the hopes of the entire continent.

May her dreams come true, and may the Africa of her dreams become a reality for all Africans to live and cherish.

And as the sun climbed the sky, the village awoke to a new day, as did Nia, ready to shape the future of Africa.

The spirit of Africa resonated in her heart, and with each beat, she was closer to her dream. Her Agenda 2063.

For the future of Nia, for the future of Africa, the journey had just begun.

And so, the story of one girl's vision for Africa continues, inspiring hope and fueling dreams across the continent.
