"The family company"
Jeff Weiner stands out as one of the great leaders in Silicon Valley.
His compassionate, pragmatic leadership style has yielded a company culture at LinkedIn that is described as “family” by those fortunate enough to work there.
We at Impact Africa Network have been fortunate beneficiaries of Jeff’s compassion and the amazing company he has helped build.
After reading an article about our founders experience in Silicon Valley and how he had turned his pain into purpose, Jeff was so moved that he made a commitment to match every donation we received on LinkedIn without even having met Mark.
From this inspired gesture came an out pouring of support from amazing people on the platform and at the company, some who have joined our Mentor Network.
Our Story
Our mission at Impact Africa Network is to ensure young talented Africans have a chance at participating in the digital transformation of Africa as creators and owners.
Like every non-profit we need all the support we can get and are inviting you to join our micro-donations campaign along with your LinkedIn colleagues.
Goal
We hope to find 300 kind and compassionate givers from within the LinkedIn family to back Jeff's commitment by supporting us with a $30 a month donation until December 2021.

Your support allows us to continue doing the important work of changing the African narrative. Thank you.

4 年Mark, it's been an absolute pleasure to be a champion for Impact Africa and to have an opportunity to share my knowledge through mentoring a very bright young professional in Kenya. Count me in to continue helping advance this great project!

4 年Mark, thank you for the kind words. Your reference to family is quite apt as it's always been a team experience for us. Feels like you've got a similar approach with Impact Africa Network . Now let's get those 300 contributors up and running so you can continue turning your vision into reality!
