Message From the Founder The African Changemakers Fellowship Program (ACFellowship) selects impressive African visionaries between the ages of 25-40 years to train and empower them to change their communities positively across Africa and beyond. These committed changemakers know best how to transform businesses and their communities’ social issues–we make it possible here. In 2017, the first African Changemakers Fellowship Program received 614 applications from 44 Africa countries for 2018, after rigorous selection screening and selection process with the support of all ACMentors, 284 applicants were selected among the 614 applications from 44 African countries. Selected applicants were enrolled in a FREE intensive 5 weeks online training to share, collaborate and learn everything on civic engagement, entrepreneurship, leadership, project management, social enterprise and mentorship. The program ended with events and meetups organized by fellows across the continent  In order to achieve greater impact, African Changemakers fellowship is strongly advocating for global and local sponsorship and partnership of all African Changemakers Programs. Thank you. Sincerely; Olutope (Topsie) Olatilewa E.   @iamTopsie African Changemakers Founder www.africanchangemakers.org Page 6
