<<<OFFICIAL INVITATION >>>>

African Leadership Academy and Mastercard Foundation are proud to reveal this year's top 20 young entrepreneurs who will be celebrated at the 2020 Anzisha Prize Awards on 27 October! This year is extra special for the Anzisha Prize program because we are celebrating 10 years of supporting and championing young people who choose entrepreneurship.

We are proud to have selected a cohort that personifies the resilience and innovation that Africa needs to navigate a post-COVID-19 future. One of our top 20 finalists is 17-year old Ghanaian entrepreneur Adjei Nyamekye, who is the youngest of the 2020 cohort and is the founder of Mosquito Trapping + Emergency LED Bulbs Initiative. The business produces and sells state-of-the-art bulbs that provide 12 hours of emergency electricity during power outages and trap mosquitoes.

Like Adjei, all of the entrepreneurs will be inducted into the Anzisha Prize fellowship and join 122 entrepreneurs who are at the forefront of running businesses that not only create jobs for their peers but shape their communities for the better.

Celebrate with us on 27 October & meet these job creators
You'll have a unique opportunity to meet and interact with the top 20 at the 2020 Anzisha Prize Awards virtual event. Although social distancing means we can’t convene in person as we’ve done in the past, the event opens up new, exciting avenues to truly become globally accessible without geographic boundaries limiting attendance. We hope access to a wider audience will build a stronger community of support for young people who decide to become entrepreneurs.
At this immersive event and in the next few weeks leading up to it, we’ll share everything we know about supporting young entrepreneurs in Africa. We will:
•Share past achievements from the program;
•Celebrate great successes that are already making a difference; and
•Discuss next steps in amplifying a future that encourages young people to choose entrepreneurship.
As you get to know the top 20, we're excited for you to learn more about their entrepreneurial journeys and celebrate their achievements. We look forward to having you join us for the event!
Yours in the audacious belief in very young entrepreneurs,
The Anzisha Prize team
