Testimonials from Alumni
This is what past students have to say about our fellowships
This initiative strengthens livelihoods and local economies while offering a replicable model for catalytic financing in underserved sectors. It exemplifies the transformative potential of combining impact investing principles with nonprofit innovation, a core aim of the AVPA fellowship.
The Africa Impact Investing Fellowship transformed my theoretical understanding of impact investing into an executable strategy. The AIIF didn't just teach me about impact investing; it equipped me to be a more effective practitioner in the field as a direct output of that journey.
I'm already thinking with a more impact-led mindset and a more systems-based mindset, and thinking about how different actions interrelate to achieve the economic impact but also the social and cultural impact that we're trying to see through our work in the creative industries.”
