I am Leticia Makafui Ahiamadzi, a young African woman passionate about youth development, innovation, and climate action. I’ve had many ideas but lacked the resources, mentorship, and confidence to bring them to life. Many young people face the same struggle and those already creating solutions sometimes lose hope, feeling that African innovation is undervalued or overlooked. Through my podcast, I amplify youth voices, share real stories, and inspire belief. When young people see others like them solve problems, they start to believe they can too and that belief can reshape Africa's future!

Designing for Impact | Building Smarter Systems for Africa’s Future

Africa’s future is being built by young innovators who design with intention, empathy, and purpose. Robotics may spark curiosity, but digital product design, human-centered solutions, and AI-powered tools are transforming how we work, build, and solve problems at scale.

In this episode, I’m joined by Elpidio Tossou; Product Designer, Digital Platforms Engineer, and Co-founder of FeatheryCare, an agritech platform empowering poultry farmers with AI-driven tools such as CluckLens, CluckChat, Cluck Mobile, and Cluck Web.

Together, we explore:

How Elpidio’s journey into tech, design thinking, and innovation began

The gaps he noticed in Africa’s digital ecosystem, and why he chose to solve them

The mission behind FeatheryCare and its impact on everyday farmers

How AI-enabled solutions are reshaping agriculture and sustainability

What the next decade of African digital product design could look like

This episode is a reminder that African problems need African frameworks, African solutions, and African builders.

“If we want an Africa that leads, we must design an Africa that works, one solution, one ecosystem, one vision at a time.”
