African Leadership Academy Anzisha Prize
The premier award for young African entrepreneurs aged 15 to 22 who have undertaken and are actively working on social and innovative projects or non-profit companies with potential.
The Anzisha Award is designed to reward young entrepreneurs who have developed and implemented innovative solutions to social problems or who have initiated businesses in their community. 15 finalists across Africa will win a trip to South Africa at the company’s expense to attend a week-long entrepreneurship conference and workshop at African Leadership Academy. The grand prize winner will be from the 15 finalists who will win a share of up to $ 100,000 USD.
The Anzisha Prize is Africa’s biggest award for her youngest entrepreneurs, and hands out over USD $100,000 every year in funding to entrepreneurs from all over the continent.
Last year was exciting in that we announced our new efforts to support the parents of very young entrepreneurs in Africa.
“Our new book – Parenting the Boss – uncovers the critical role parents play and how we must invest in them if we are to see more young people confidently choosing an entrepreneurship career path post school,” says Josh Adler, Vice President of Growth and Entrepreneurship at African Leadership Academy.
In 2018, Melissa Bime, a 22-year-old healthcare entrepreneur won the US$25,000 Grand Prize at the 8th annual Anzisha Prize awards gala. She is the founder of INFIUSS, an online blood bank and digital supply chain platform that ensures patients in 23 hospitals in Cameroon have life-saving blood when and where they need it. She is only the second woman to win the grand prize since Best Ayiorworth took it home in 2013.
“Today, I stand here to represent every young girl out there that just has her dreams,” said Melissa Bime during her acceptance speech. “I stand here to represent this amazing group of entrepreneurs that I am a part of. With these people, the future of Africa is very bright. We are going to change this continent.”
