IMAGINE
AFRIKA
The first authentic African reality show sets up pan-African challenge for continent’s young achievers and promotes the vision of an HIV-free generation
Imagine Afrika is the first ever uniquely African inspired and produced reality television show by broadcast companies across Africa working together in an unprecedented coalition
(see www.broadcasthivafrica.org for more details).
Imagine Afrika pits outstanding young African achievers against one another to come up with solutions to some of the continent’s most pressing problems. Chosen through a continent-wide call for nominations resulting in more than 10,000 applications, the contestants have been chosen to represent the diversity of Africa and for their exceptional personal achievements and talents.
Over 13 weeks the contestants in three teams will compete on location in countries across the continent in working with local communities to initiate efforts to address local problems like housing, water supply, nutrition and HIV/AIDS prevention, treatment and care.. With the primary goal of demonstrating the power of personal initiative, self esteem and leadership in charting a future vision for a better future for Africa, the contestants will specifically focus on factors driving the HIV/AIDS epidemic as the most debilitating of the endemic diseases affecting Africa.
The teams demonstrate the talents and leadership of Africa’s next generation of leaders and promote the vision of an HIV-free generation by challenging all Africans as individuals and as part of families, communities and nations to think how they can contribute to that goal.
