Prince Harry's latest philanthropic move will gather world business leaders and philanthropists to work towards fostering prosperity in Southern African communities, specifically focused on young people.
In early October, Harry's charity organization Sentebale, which he co-founded with Prince Seeiso of Lesotho in 2006, will bring together leaders from Google's charitable arm and several other companies and organizations for a series of meetings and discussions in Lesotho and Johannesburg, the AP reports.
The gathering will be Harry's first time visiting Southern Africa since 2019.
The Duke of Sussex and the leaders will partner with local organizations and companies that are already actively brainstorming solutions to the roadblocks in place for young people in the region to succeed.
Harry said in a news release that the organization has developed a "profound understanding of local youth their passions, their concerns, and their extraordinary creativity" through their extensive work in the area and their longstanding relationships with local communities.
"These young adults are eager and capable of driving meaningful change, yet significant barriers still stand in their way," his statement continued, noting Sentebale is nearing its 20th anniversary.
While the organization was initially established to help children and young people in Lesotho and Botswana affected by HIV/AIDS, it now works to establish solutions to broader problems impacting youth in
