Seeing What Others Missed

What happens when you see a problem and decide it’s time to do something about it?

In Episode 2 of Rethinking Possible, I sit down with Sandra Mbamah Sore, Executive Director of The Napiness Network, to explore how she turned her passion for youth development into community-driven action.

From the growth of Spell World across all 21 Junior High Schools in Nabdam District to the power of bringing communities together, Sandra shares what it takes to turn an idea into meaningful change.

C’est toujours un plaisir de se retrouver, d’échanger et de réfléchir ensemble à ce que nous pouvons construire pour notre communauté.

Lors de la visite de l’équipe Baobab en Afrique de l’Ouest, nous avons eu la chance de partager un moment riche en échanges autour d’une vision qui nous tient particulièrement à cœur : Baobab Francophone.

À cette occasion, nous avons eu le plaisir de recevoir Monsieur Credo Kaninda, un leader engagé dans le développement des talents africains et l’un des visages qui ont contribué à faire grandir cette communauté.

À travers cette conversation, nous revenons sur la place des alumni francophones dans l’écosystème Baobab, le lancement de cette communauté et les opportunités qui se dessinent pour la suite.

Dans cette vidéo, vous découvrirez notamment :

• La vision et les ambitions de Baobab Francophone ;
• Le rôle des alumni francophones dans la construction de cette communauté ;
• Les opportunités et initiatives à venir pour les membres de la communauté.

Nous vous invitons à découvrir cette conversation et à plonger avec nous dans la vision de Baobab Francophone, une communauté portée par des talents francophones engagés à travers l’Afrique.

Some people experience a problem and move on. Jacob Yen Alier experienced one and decided to change it.

After growing up in a refugee settlement where he studied under trees and completed primary school without ever touching a computer, Jacob is now using education, innovation, and digital inclusion to create opportunities for thousands of refugee children.

But what does it really take to turn your own struggles into social impact? That’s the story we uncover in Episode 1 of Rethinking Possible.

Welcome to Rethinking Possible. My name is Ayimbisa Abigail Ayinsungya, a Mastercard Foundation Scholars Program Alumni from USIU-Africa and currently an Employer Engagement Officer with the Mastercard Foundation Associates Program.

I hope this podcast reminds you that you don’t need to have everything figured out before you begin. Sometimes, all it takes is the courage to ask a different question, see a familiar problem differently, and believe that another possibility exists.

So, wherever you are in your journey, I hope you keep questioning, keep exploring, and most importantly, keep rethinking possible.

I’ll see you in the next episode.
