# Africa Global Forum

> A peer network for the African diaspora — where Africans abroad help each other, sit together to share what they're going through, and bounce ideas. Africa Global Forum (AGF) insists on creating opportunity among ourselves first, then with the world.

Africa Global Forum (AGF) is led by Samuel Kimani Sikuku and operates at the corridor between Africa and its diaspora. We are a network — not a media brand and not a consultancy — and our work falls into three areas: peer help among diaspora members, community channels for those going through similar things, and live talks with open Q&A. AGF also runs affiliate partnerships with companies operating the Africa ⇄ Abroad corridor (past partners include Lemfi and Founders Running Club), and publishes free research on remittance, migration, capital and entrepreneurship.

## What we do

- **Help & Be Helped** — A diaspora marketplace to give, receive and pay it forward. Search the network for members who can help.
- **You Are Not Alone** — A dedicated channel to share what you're carrying and find others who carry it too. Working name: "We are together."
- **Bounce Ideas** — Inspiring talks from members, with an open Q&A floor afterwards.
