Learn MoreImportance Leadership is a non-profit organization dedicated to empowering youth through advocacy and education.
We advocate for equality, equity, and justice for youth, particularly refugees, minorities, and the underprivileged. Our programs provide mentorship, mental health training, climate change awareness, and leadership development to help young people actively participate in shaping policies and solutions that impact their lives.
Founded by Fiston Ndayishimiye, whose journey from the Democratic Republic of Congo to becoming a visionary leader exemplifies resilience and determination. His experiences with war, ethnic conflict, and systemic oppression fuel his mission to create change.
Inspired by leaders like Patrice Lumumba, Martin Luther King Jr., and Malcolm X, Fiston believes in the power of youth to transform society. "I don't believe in democracy, but I believe in the young generation," he says. "The future will change; the future must change."
