Meet Satina Harry Okoi, a dynamic youth committed to reshaping the future of leadership in Africa. With six years of hands-on experience in community development, Satina identified a crucial gap in African leadership and took action by founding the Paragon Leadership Initiative.
Motivated by her observations of underprepared leaders assuming roles without adequate training, Satina launched the Paragon Leadership Initiative in 2018. Starting with school prefects, she delivers comprehensive training and support in governance, leadership, and personal development. Despite facing initial resource constraints, Satina rallied friends to volunteer and facilitate sessions.
Today, the impact of the Paragon Leadership Initiative spans three states, empowering young leaders with indispensable skills and nurturing their growth in character and capacity. Through the initiative, these emerging leaders not only refine their abilities but also spearhead community projects aligned with the UN Sustainable Development Goals.
As Satina aptly puts it, "Young people hold immense potential in shaping communities." Join us this week on Youth Givers in West Africa as we explore Satina's inspiring journey and the transformative efforts of the Paragon Leadership Initiative.
