World Africa Day, also known as African Liberation Day and Africa Day, is a significant occasion celebrated annually on May 25th. It commemorates the formation of the Organization of African Unity (OAU) in 1963, which later became the African Union (AU). This day serves as an opportunity to reflect on Africa's history, acknowledge its achievements, and promote unity and solidarity among African nations. This holiday is currently in its 60th year of celebration and Feeding Mouths, Filling Minds invites you celebrate with us!

What is World Africa Day:

World Africa Day has its roots in the struggle for independence and decolonization of African nations. On May 25, 1963, representatives from 32 independent African countries gathered in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, to establish the Organization of African Unity (OAU). Their primary objectives were to promote African solidarity, support the liberation movements of those still under colonial rule, and foster cooperation among African nations. This historic event laid the foundation for Africa's progress and unity.

Recent Updates:

Over the years, Africa Day has evolved into a platform to celebrate Africa's achievements, cultural diversity, and economic potential. It provides an opportunity to address challenges and work towards a prosperous continent. Notably, in recent times, Africa has witnessed significant advancements in various sectors, including technology, entrepreneurship, infrastructure development, and governance. The African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA), launched in January 2021, is a major milestone in promoting intra-African trade and boosting economic integration across the continent.
