These 11 dynamic African leaders will be spending one month in Canada learning, story sharing and building rich networks across the country. In the Chichewa dialect of Malawi, Kumvana means \u201cunite so we may discuss and understand.\u201d In this spirit, the Kumvana Program builds the capacities of young African professionals, while fostering rich collaborations between Canadian and African partners. The fellows are eager to develop their systems-change leadership skills by sharing ideas at EWB\u2019s National Conference, visiting our university chapters, and connecting with community members and Canadian organizations during their one month in Canada. &nbsp; Andy Acon KuganPro Kampala, Uganda Andy is the Founder and Managing Director of KuganPro, which provides an alternative, sustainable source of high-protein animal feed in Uganda. Andy\u2019s first-hand experience as a poultry farmer and fish farmer fostered his passion for sustainable agri-business. Prior to founding KuganPro, Andy founded the Premium Quality Food Poultry Farm, and the BUMOFF FISH FARM, which were both unsustainable due to the high cost of protein-rich feeds. He founded KuganPro to develop a creative solution to the feeds challenge in Uganda.
