Some Inspiring Words from Previous Awards Winners
To be awarded this prestigious prize, where we competed amongst hundreds of international projects has been very beneficial to our organisation is to gives staff, donors and beneficiaries great comfort that our project is considered world class and that we have a best practice model which is recognised worldwide. It has also afforded us the opportunity to network with other international organisations that have the same mission internationally at their annual conference. The Clothing Bank, South Africa – 1st Prize Winner 2012Winning this prize means a lot to us, because we are even more motivated to continue our work. Environmental education is a priority for the conservation of chimpanzees and other wildlife. Attending nature clubs such as Club P.A.N. can foster adolescent consciousness towards nature and the environment. Club P.A.N., Côte d’Ivoire- Country winner 2012

In addition to the generous financial support, we've received media attention from the prize and more credibility in the field. Teach a Man to Fish's name is well respected, so receiving an award from them helps give Educate!'s mission and approach greater recognition from partners and foundations in this field. Educate!, Uganda – 1st Prize Winner 2009The Ministries of Higher Education, Agriculture, Provincial Administration and that of Adult Education looked at Icoseed with high regard for being the best Kenya project to win the 2009 Pan African Award For Entrepreneurship inEducation. Many people came to see what we were doing and gave more support. Icoseed, Kenya– Country Prize Winner 2009

The foundation also promote awareness and action on the part of donors, corporate bodies and government to engage and invest with more consciousness, assess each intervention deeply, stay involved to ensure project resilience, and ultimately replicate proven solutions.
Organisations running creative programs in the education and entrepreneurship field can play a vital role in driving positive social change, yet they rarely receive the recognition they deserve. The SAVILLE FOUNDATION Pan-African Awards for Entrepreneurship in Education represent a small step forward in terms of drawing international attention to their brilliant ideas and achievements.
