FOR THE BIGGEST FAMILY LIFE CONFERENCE IN AFRICA

ABOUT THE EVENT

AFRICAN FAMILY LIFE DELEGATE CONFERENCE

In 2017, we pioneered the Africa Family Life Delegate Summit, marking a historic gathering at the Sheba Event Center. The summit convened over 1,500 delegates from Nigeria and beyond, featuring esteemed guests such as the Executive Governor of LagosState (represented by the Honorable Commissioner for Women Affairs), the Country Director of the United Nations Information Center, and the representative of the First Lady of Lagos. Since.

The African Family Life Delegate Conference (AFLDC) has served as a vital annual gathering committed to strengthening African families, bridging generational divides, and reclaiming the richness of African culture in modern society. Held each year on May 15th, AFLDC has become a thought-leadership hub and action-driven platform for dialogue, cultural reflection, and solution-sharing among family life professionals and community influencers across the globe.

Over the past eight years, AFLDC has directly impacted over 7,000 participants, including family life coaches, counselors, educators, religious leaders, parents, students, and corporate professionals. With representation from diverse faiths, cultural backgrounds, and geographies, the conference continues to unite both traditionalists and modern thinkers in the family life space—locally and internationally.

RECLAIMING OUR HERITAGE & STRENGTH: African History and Legends for Building Intergenerational Resilience 

Africa's rich history stretches back millennia, yet in today's fast-paced world, it's easy to lose sight of the strength and wisdom passed down through generations.

This theme is especially powerful in today's world, where rediscovering our roots can provide a foundation for strength and unity in the face of modern challenges.

The purpose of the Africa Family Life Delegate Conference isn't to dwell on the past but to harness its power to shape a powerful future for every African. It's time to RECLAIM the creativity and strength that define every African.

During the conference, we'll explore timeless stories and lessons from African history and legends and show you how to apply them to families around the continent.

•  Reclaiming Our Heritage: This is a call to embrace the beauty, wisdom, and values embedded in African traditions, art, and culture that have shaped societies for centuries. It seeks to inspire a resurgence of pride in African identities.
• Building Strength Through Legends: The stories of legendary African figures, from warriors to philosophers, remind us of our inherent strength, innovation, and perseverance.
• Intergenerational Resilience: By learning and sharing these stories, we create a lasting legacy for future generations, equipping them with a strong sense of belonging and the resilience to navigate their worlds confidently.
