A 16-year-old Chinese teen, Eric Wang, has launched a foundation in Uganda to support Ugandan-Chinese children abandoned by their fathers who returned to China. The Eric Wang Foundation provides school fees, medical care, and assistance in tracing absent fathers. The initiative was inspired by reports of children facing discrimination and hardship after being left behind. Over the past two decades, thousands of Chinese workers have been stationed in Africa on short-term construction contracts—often leaving without clear commitments for their children’s care. How can other African countries ensure children in similar situations get the support they need?

The African Union wants a new global map standard, arguing that the Mercator projection downplays Africa’s true size. On the Mercator map, Africa appears only slightly larger than Greenland—yet in reality, it’s 15 times bigger. The AU is backing the “Correct The Map” campaign, led by Africa No Filter and Speak Up Africa, which promotes the 2018 Equal Earth projection—a world map designed to show continents in their true proportions, providing a fairer picture of the world. The aim is to introduce Equal Earth into African school curricula and encourage its adoption by international organizations.
