Funding Opportunities at Young Innovation Leaders (YIL)

The Young Innovation Leaders Fellowship (formerly known as The HELP Fellowship) is a platform created by Hutzpa Centre for Innovation and Development -- a social enterprise aimed at promoting innovation across sectors in Africa. 

THE GOAL to create a platform to groom excellent leaders.

To achieve this, we set out to identify “the seeds of excellence” – young individuals who have demonstrated outstanding performances in their endeavors. Our platform is designed to inspire them on how to get to more without settling for less. Furthermore, we help in “the buildup of excellence”. The Y.I.L Fellows have access to life-long mentorship and resources for growth. While, the government has a more active role in creating “the platforms of excellence”, we position ourselves to inspire that. Our goal in the Y.I.L Fellowship is to create a system to scale up excellence.
