Kimmie Weeks and his youth run organization, Youth Action International partners with Humanity Unites Brilliance (HUB) in their joint effort to help communities in Africa move from survival to self sustainment through self empowerment.

Weeks, was a child refugee of the war in Liberia and nearly died of hunger. Since then, he has been a tireless advocate to end poverty.

When he was 16 years old, Weeks led the Children’s Disarmament Campaign to rescue 20,000 other child soldiers in Liberia. As a result, he was forced to flee to the United States where he founded Youth Action International, a nonprofit dedicated to rebuild communities through schools, playgrounds, and business opportunities for women and children in war-torn African countries.
