Goalkeepers Event Showcases the Power of Music across Africa

07-09-2025

Musicians play an important role in strengthening communities, and their voices are crucial in discussions about our world’s future. In early June, the Gates Foundation hosted its first Goalkeepers event in Lagos, Nigeria, bringing together global leaders, policymakers, and artists to address Africa’s progress in meeting the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals and to showcase the power of music to unite people. If you’re interested, a recent article in BellaNaija builds off the momentum of this event to highlight how African artists are improving health and education outcomes in their communities through their music and philanthropic efforts.
