PivotAfrica Fellowshp Program for Young Africans 2023(Cohort 5)

We are a youth-focused non-governmental organization with a vision of transforming Africa into a thriving continent. Though incorporated in 2016, our origin dates back to 2008 when a group of undergraduates began to engage teenagers in secondary schools across Lagos with the aim of teaching them to be purpose driven and value-oriented.

We have since evolved into an organization that empowers young Africans by providing capacity and opportunities in the areas of personal development, employability and entrepreneurship.The PivotAfrica Fellowship has two unique tracks – The Employability track and Entrepreneurship track
