On April 23, 2023, we witnessed a powerful display of unity, passion, and community spirit as our Global Fundraising Walk took place simultaneously in four major cities: Lagos (Nigeria), Port Harcourt (Nigeria), Raleigh (North Carolina, USA), and Hyde Park (London, UK). The event was a huge success, thanks to the dedication of our supporters, the tireless efforts of our organizing teams, and most notably, the incredible leadership of the youth community in the UK, who drove the event’s momentum and played a pivotal role in making it such a triumph. The Global Fundraising Walk was a resounding success across four Continents!
A Unified Effort Across the Globe
The walk aimed to raise awareness and vital funds for [the AEF Educational initiatives, and its success is a testament to the power of collective action. Participants from each of the cities came together to take strides toward a brighter future, all while supporting a meaningful cause that touched the hearts of thousands.

The Vital Role of the Youth in the UK
One of the standout elements of this year’s walk was the exceptional involvement by young people, in particular the Nigerian youths in the UK. From getting involved in the planning and coordination to fundraising and social media promotion, the youth played a central role in ensuring that the event reached new heights of success. Their enthusiasm, creativity, and commitment were infectious, helping to rally participants across the globe.
Their efforts to engage their peers and motivate others to get involved were instrumental in creating a buzz about the event, both in the UK and internationally.
