After six months of development, the era92 Hub has officially opened, marking a new chapter in the organization’s ongoing mission to address youth unemployment across Africa.
The milestone follows an extensive period of planning, construction, and collaboration that brought together community leaders, funders, and partners who believed in the project from the beginning.
The Hub’s journey included both a soft launch and a grand opening celebration attended by key supporters, funders, and members of the community.
The events reflected era92’s commitment to building not only a space for innovation but also a community grounded in purpose and shared values.

A Model for Transformative Growth
The era92 Model serves as the foundation of this initiative, addressing one of the continent’s most pressing challenges: widespread youth unemployment.
The Hub connects young Africans to global best practices in training, faith, finance, and technology, equipping them to participate in the modern economy and build sustainable futures.
Through era92 Finance, the organization supports young entrepreneurs in becoming business owners, ensuring that economic transformation extends to families and communities.
Meanwhile, the Elevate Program provides graduates with mentorship, practical tools, and access to networks that help scale their ideas and turn potential into impact.
By blending innovation and purpose, the Hub aims to develop a new generation of redemptive leaders—individuals who approach business and leadership as vehicles for restoration, community upliftment, and long-term transformation.
A Legacy Built on Generosity
The era92 Hub stands as a tribute to the visionaries who helped bring it to life. The organization expressed deep gratitude to its Legacy Builders, whose belief and generosity turned an idea into reality.
The Legacy Builders include: Andrew DeVaney, Peter Vardy, Tony Macaulay, the Coblentz Family, Jared Fulks, Alex and Marta Rouse, Tim and Bahati Sabiti, Ps. Deo Mwanje, Harrison Phillips, Paul Deakin, David Goldberg, Dana Doll, and the Nuzum Family.
Each contributor played a vital role in shaping the Hub, from its design to its operations. Every desk, wall, and shared space represents their collective commitment to empowering Africa’s next generation of innovators.
“Every metal, every desk, every dream realized here is a reflection of your support,” the organization noted. “This Hub stands as a legacy to your generosity.”
Looking Ahead: Scaling Impact Across Africa
The launch of the Hub is only the beginning of a larger mission. Era92 envisions expanding its model across the continent by creating a network of redemptive spaces dedicated to empowering youth and driving community-based economic development.
Future goals include:
- Creating 100,000 skilled job opportunities for African youth.
- Developing redemptive entrepreneurs and faith-driven leaders who will transform local economies.
- Shifting youth unemployment from a charity concern to an investment in Africa’s most valuable asset—its people.
Through the Hub, era92 hopes to demonstrate that sustainable progress begins with equipping young people with access to education, mentorship, and purpose-driven opportunities.
