Servant Leadership is the mother's milk for sustainable development
Our History
On the 16th day of December, 1994, the PLO Foundation was established, marking the genesis of a Pan-African initiative deeply rooted in the ideals of African self-determination and solidarity. Over this period, the foundation has etched its presence across the continent, extending its reach to no fewer than 46 countries.
Anchored on the bedrock of Pan-Africanism, the Foundation has pursued its mission through transformative mentorship programs, fostering advancements in Leadership, Education, Technology, Health, and Agriculture.
The overarching vision of the Foundation is to nurture an environment conducive to Africa’s sustainable growth. This noble aspiration is being realized through the implementation of community-driven projects, designed to empower individuals to become architects of their own progress and stewards of their collective future.
Since our establishment, we have been self-supporting except for occasional support we have received from friends and Organizations of goodwill.
...When I look at Africa many questions come to mind, many times I have asked myself what would happen if Dr Kwame Nkrumah and Patrice Lumumba were to rise up and see what is happening, many times I have asked myself what would happen if Nelson Madiba Mandela were to rise up and see what is happening. Africans we must take action by ourselves. No one is coming to save us...

This not only empowers individuals but also contributes to the intellectual and social development of African societies.
