Uganda Institute of Information and Communication (UICT) guild president H.E Michael Nkwanga has authored a book on the untapped potential of the African child.
The book, titled the Plight of an African Child, is not just literary work- it is a powerful reckoning. It unearths the pain, promise and potential of the African child with raw honesty and poetic defiance.
In a time where Africa’s narrative is too often hijacked, distorted and silenced, the Plight of an African Child emerges as a rare and necessary voice.
This newly released book spanning 40 provocative chapters traverses the continent’s historical wounds and present injustices: broken education systems, cultural chains, neglected healthcare, child labor, gender oppression and many more.
The Plight of an African Child invites readers to see African children not as victims but as visionaries born into burden, yet destined to rebuild. It is a mirror to the past, a cry for justice and a torch lighting the path forward.For educators, activists, students and leaders across the continent and diaspora, this book is essential reading.
