Entrepreneurs from the Mandela Washington Fellowship, part of President Obama’s Young African Leaders Initiative (YALI), will be returning home with $1,250,000 in seed capital awarded by the U.S. African Development Foundation (USADF). This year’s 50 winners from over twenty countries, including Tanzania, will be using these funds to launch or grow their business ventures to tackle social problems. These young leaders are already creating jobs, solving social issues with business solutions, and impacting thousands of Africans in their communities. On Monday, August 1, the 2016 YALI Entrepreneurship winners were officially announced at an awards dinner hosted by USADF.
