Africa's biggest VENTURE BUILDING FELLOWSHIP for her youngest entrepreneurs

Anzisha Prize is a three-year fellowship for young African entrepreneurs between 15 and 22 years old. We identify, equip young people with tools and resources to run successful businesses and celebrate their entrepreneurial endeavours. 

We invest deeply in storytelling 

To create a meaningful movement, telling impactful stories matter. We don’t just develop and connect young entrepreneurs; we create and share stories about their exceptional journeys to inspire others to follow in their footsteps. From the visual to the written word, every entrepreneur’s story is an important aspect of their success.
