Over the last decade, the Anzisha Prize has celebrated young entrepreneurs and believes that successful transitions from school to entrepreneurship are under-invested. It stands on the Anzisha Prize’s longstanding belief that more young people should choose entrepreneurship to help lessen youth unemployment on the continent.

The Anzisha Prize in partnership with African Leadership Academy and Mastercard Foundation is celebrating 10 African entrepreneurs whose transitions into entrepreneurship started before the age of 25. The 10 inspirational business leaders have been inducted into the Anzisha Prize Hall of Fame for 2020. This diverse group of entrepreneurs reflect transitions from high school or university into entrepreneurship that demonstrate the importance of starting your entrepreneurship journey early.
