This young Ivorian has a vision of changing Africa through scientific research.
Lou’s Dream:
My time at African Leadership Academy has given me the opportunity to think not only as a citizen of Ivory Coast, by as a citizen of the world. Here I have met people from Mali, Uganda, Libya, Morocco, Burundi and the USA. I have been exposed to many other cultures yet have learnt that many of our problems are the same.
I am passionate about Africa and I want to make Africa better through the empowerment of young people. In the future, I want to be an economist and have a microfinance enterprise that supports the young entrepreneurs of Ivory Coast to make their ideas come alive.
