History

Africa has experienced lots of turbulent, violent and even uncertain history. At the turn of 21st century, Africa started to experience increased GDP growth and economic prospects were aroused. In as much as the economic indicators were factual, they did not represent the true picture of today’s realities in Africa. Furthermore, the youths have brunt most of the burden in these conflicts as because of wasted years and lost opportunities. Therefore, some young people whom wanted to create transformative changes decided to join resources together and establish Global Initiatives for Youth Transformation (GLINT). These visionary, noble and optimistic Nigerians were passionate on the malign development going on in Africa especially amongst the youths. GLINT is duly a registered Nigeria Non Governmental Organisation primarily to ameliorate the sufferings of youths and women while working to build dignified lives. We hope to reach and serve youths and women across the African continent that is is dire need of combating violence against women and girls, increasing entrepreneurship, engaging with unjust structures and systems and advocating for better inclusiveness in decision making.

Fortunately, GLINT’s initiatives are geared towards increasing the livelihood and welfare of youths and women, bringing hope and sustainable transformation to depressed and vulnerable population.

GLINT recognizes the multi faith and pluralist nature of African societies and will work with people from various faiths and no faith. We do not discriminate based on any identity but rather encourages youths and women to remain authentic to their beliefs and thought processes.
