Building a future for Africa...

African Teens Enterpreneurs and Empowerment Network (ATEENS) is an organization founded to support teenagers in Africa in achieving their dreams. The organization is a revolutionary life transformer looking at the set of programmes and projects we have laid down. We have been putting all efforts to ensuring that this organization which is ready to impact millions of African teenagers comes to fruition. The organization is entrepreneurship based. It has the vision of training teenagers and empowering them across Africa. Teenage is a stage in the development of a child that requires attention. At this very age, young adults are subjected to many things ranging from sexual exploitation, peer pressure, abuses, and criminalities just to mention but a few. The government is doing nothing to address this fragile young people. we felt this teenage stage is quite important in the life of a child. This is the time you can give them the right orientation about life. We have the mission of establishing this organization in all the 36 states of the federation including FCT and other African Countries. Our strategies are to build a strong financial base that will help us to empower these young adults across Africa through mentorship, information sharing, networking and education to achieve their dreams. Currently, we have representatives in four (4) states: Ondo, Edo, Kogi and Osun. The organization is set to collaborate with other organizations and individuals who share in our ideologies. Now, we are in the process of constituting our teams and we are currently recruiting members across the country. Some of our plan are to start centers called TEEN EVENTS CENTERS. These centers apart from standing as a point of meeting with teenagers to be educated, it is a centre where teenagers will be trained on different modern day skills that are ICT driven. The drive to have teenagers go into agriculture, Human Rights Advocacy, Nation Building etc. is what is motivating us. In fact, in the area of agriculture, we seek to establish TEENS FARM CENTERS. This will be done with the help of experts in the agriculture domain. There are a lot to discuss here but for time and space. ATEENS has developed a blue print to raise fund to achieve these goals. I will continue to update you on this and see possible areas where you can have your input.
