Walk For Love Africa (WFL) Is A Non-Profit Organisation And A Pioneer In Promoting Intra-Africa Connectivity.
Founded by Toni Ukachukwu, a Pan African who is passionate about building a self-reliant Africa through collaborations and partnerships to foster growth and unity amongst Africans. His passion led to developing a Pan African foundation tagged Walk for Love Africa which has grown to have Country Directors in 15 African Countries and counting.
What we did
The walk began in Lagos, Nigeria. Cape Town concluded their walk with the release of our official theme song titled “Song of Love” written and performed by Vicky Sampson.Programmes are organised at country, regional and continental levels aimed at advocating for a connected and borderless Africa. Our Platform, the WFL HUB is a market place for the travel and tourism ecosystem to connect all stakeholders, encourage market linkages, collaborations and partnerships in Africa.WFL is poised to empower SMEs in the travel and tourism ecosystem with skill acquisition, mentorship, training and retraining programmes that provide incentives for sustainability. We believe that an inter connected Africa will facilitate easy movement of people, promote travel, tourism and trade while pushing the agenda of Single African Air Transport Market (SAATM) and African Continental Free Trade Agreement (AfCFTA). This will further promote the African Union Agenda 2063 to achieve a socio-economic development.
