The UK based charity, Teach A Man To Fish now invites applications for the 2016 Pan-African Awards for Entrepreneurship in Education. The competition is a way to reward organizations that contribute to Africa’s growth and development through an entrepreneurial approach to education and training. The aim of the Awards also include changing the attitudes of young people so that they begin to leave the education system as the job creators of the future rather than job seekers.

About the Awards

The Pan African Awards reward the very best projects which are using enterprise and entrepreneurship to innovate in the field of education. The awards are generously supported by The Saville Foundation, a charitable foundation based in South Africa. Teach A Man To Fish manage the awards using their expertise in enterprise education and highlight inspirational models and projects through their large network of educational organisations and schools.
