Make A Movement. Join Us.
Starting from September 10, 2018, all African youth who desire and strive for a better life in Africa are invited to celebrate their contribution to the construction of a radiant Africa and make their voices heard. Thus, September 10 was named “The African Youth Responsibility Day (JARJ)” at the initiative of the founder of COPAJE-AF. We salute and encourage the meetings and events organized by young African leaders and other active African youth, and encourage them all to dare to act and build our dear Africa together.
The Story Behind Of Our Movement
Born in Ruhango, 28-year-old Anicet Buranga decided on September 10, 2007, to create an African organization 28-year-old Anicet Buranga decided on September 10, 2007, to create an African organization. When the war began in his home country, Rwanda, in 1990, Anicet was 11 years old, he also experienced the war that ravaged Zaire from 1996 to 1997 and that of Congo Brazzaville from 1997 to 1998. It wasn’t just wars but also poverty, misery, and all forms of violence. As a young person, Anicet went through these tragedies, which were the result of poor governance. His personal experience convinced him that if the youth did not want to fall victim to the scourges of poor governance, they should take responsibility and take action to contribute to positive changes in order to build an Africa, a land rich in human values and worthy of its children. Thus, the love for others and the passion to serve society prompted Anicet to create COPAJE-AF on September 10, 2007, to provide African youth with a space for expression and action to contribute to the progress of African society. His family was not able to support him financially, he relied only on God, himself, and his team to achieve the objectives. Our story continues and unfolds thanks to the many young Africans who have joined COPAJE-AF, and others will join us.
