A new generation of enterprising young women who are socially conscious are emerging on the African continent. They understand the power of entrepreneurship to make big change happen. Importantly, they harness their passion and knowledge to create exciting, high impact businesses to solve key challenges. This year’s prestigious Anzisha Prize was announced this week, celebrating Africa’s most innovative social and business entrepreneurs under the age of 22. And some exciting new impact driven women entrepreneurs caught the attention of the judges. This year’s winner was Cameroonian health-tech entrepreneur Melissa Bime who was recognised for INFIUSS, her online blood bank and digital supply chain solution which ensures local hospitals have access to blood. Read Melissa’s story here. She is a great example of how young enterprising women are creating real solutions to big challenges that affect their local communities and the continent as a whole. Africa and the world needs more like her!
