THE BIG IDEA
From small sparks to sustainable change.
Africa’s Youth Redefining What’s Possible
Since 2007, My Little Big Thing (MLBT) has inspired young Africans to imagine, design, and build solutions that move the world forward.
Through the annual MLBT Challenge and our learning community, students transform classroom ideas into real projects that tackle the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) , from clean energy and health to climate action and agriculture.
Because here, the next big thing always starts with you.
SDGs In Action
Every MLBT project connects to one or more Global Goals , from clean water to decent work , making sustainability more than a slogan.
Youth-Led Innovation
We believe the next big thing will be built by young Africans, creative, restless, and ready to solve problems their own way.
Learning That Sticks
Through mentorship, design-thinking, and real-world labs, students gain skills that outlast the challenge.
Community Over Competition
MLBT is a tribe , we grow together, support each other, and celebrate impact that lifts everyone.
What's Your
Little Big Thing?
Inspired by Wangari Maathai’s belief that small actions can change the world. We believe that:
One idea, like one tree, can grow into a movement.
Years Of
Since 2017, young Africans have turned bold ideas into real impact.
Each year new voices, new projects & new hope.
