In addition to JA programs, the campaign will also support programming from other non-profit organizations serving marginalized girls across Africa. The official launch of the 10MAG campaign took place on March 8, 2025, in Accra, Ghana, alongside a special certification ceremony inducting the LEAD Camp girls as the inaugural cohort of the 10MAG network – a community that will provide them with continuous mentorship, resources, and opportunities to advance their leadership and entrepreneurship journeys.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cAfrica cannot achieve its full potential if half of its youth population is denied access to quality education and economic participation opportunities,\u201d said Simi Nwogugu. \u201cThe goal of the 10MAG campaign is to galvanize action to equip our young women with the tools they need to drive economic growth and raise themselves and their communities out of poverty.
