Billionaire Businessman Tony Elumelu launches
The Tony Elumelu Foundation’s 15-Year Impact Report

In his words:

“Fifteen years ago my wife and I had a vision, and we laid down a challenge: that a young African with an idea does not need charity, they need capital, and someone willing to believe in them. That Africa could be transformed by entrepreneurship and a generation inspired to take control of their destiny. Today, that challenge has been met. 24,633 entrepreneurs funded. All 54 African countries. More than $120 million deployed. And from it, 1.5 million jobs and $4.2 billion in revenue — created by Africans, for Africans.

Yesterday, we are launched The Tony Elumelu Foundation’s 15-Year Impact Report. Rigorously researched and independently verified, it demonstrates how luck can be democratised, and generational change delivered.

As we look forward, the job is not done. We are excited and driven to scale further. In a complex world, we are proud our vision has become a beacon of hope and a catalyst of economic transformation”.
