THE SAVILLE FOUNDATION Pan-African Awards for Entrepreneurship in Education
We believe that entrepreneurship in education will play a vital
role in driving positive social change in Africa. Aside from financial
prizes, the awards offer a platform for organizations to inspire each
other and share what works.
The competition is open to all organizations that are based in Africa and working in education. This includes primary, secondary and tertiary education, as well as non-formal and adult education.
Last year’s winners included aTV-show in Tanzania, an embroidery training programme in Madagascar and a bicycle recycling enterprise in Lesotho - we are looking for anything and everything that combats poverty in an innovative, sustainable and effective way!
