THE QUEEN’S YOUNG
LEADERS PROGRAMME DISCOVERS, CELEBRATES AND SUPPORTS EXCEPTIONAL YOUNG PEOPLE
FROM ACROSS THE COMMONWEALTH, LEAVING A LASTING LEGACY FOR HER MAJESTY THE
QUEEN.
Last
year, a search was launched to find exceptional young people to receive the
first ever Queen’s Young Leaders Awards. Hundreds of applications flooded in
from incredible young people all dedicated to making lasting change in their
community and beyond.
And this was the
joyous and unforgettable moment for three very talented and hardworking young
Cameroonians as their blood, sweat and tears was celebrated by the most famous
monarch in the whole wide world, her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II in her Buckingham Palace home in
London last night.
Alain Nteff, a 30
under 30 to watch Forbes Africa nominee who has won many awards as well as
nominations on many lists for young achievers/game changers to watch - for his GiftedMom initiative was celebrating last night as he
met the Queen and received his Queen's Young Leader Award.
Joannes Paulus
Yimbesalu was also celebrating last night for his recognition on the education
led initiative Hope For Children Cameroon (Hopefcc) which provides education to
underprivileged children thus enabling them to maximise their full potential.
Mallah Enow Tabot has worked hard to improve the lives of many young women in Cameroon including those at risk of early and forced marriages. Her organisation, United Vision For Women uses theatre and art to engage communities and change attitudes. Mallah also wants to achieve better sexual and reproductive health for teenage girls.
