Just called my mother why I came to this world early. Of course, joking. It would have been better if I am turning 20 years now! Why? Read on for a chance to win USD 70,000 before 20 years. Africa is on the move. We have started doing great things and goodness will come to the land.

The Anzisha Prize is the premier award for African leaders aged 15-20 who have developed and implemented innovative solutions to challenges facing their communities.


The Prize recognizes young people whose passion for Africa drives them to design and develop projects that transform their communities and the continent. The Anzisha Prize is an initiative of the African Leadership Academy in partnership with the Mastercard Foundation.
