Testimonials from ACFellows Cohort 2 about ACFellowship Program, 2018.

What do you do with 70 pages of over 200 testimonials from ACFellows Cohort 2 about their 5 weeks experiences of African ChangeMakers Fellowship Program from a single training?. Other than to share it with the world to read along with us, keep us motivated to keep impacting more lives. AC Team was not prepared for the high numbers of testimonials we received, we were blown away and tearing up with emotions as we began to read them one by one and still unable to finish reading all. A big thank you to all Cohort 2 participants for believing in African ChangeMakers and giving us your time to learn together.HAPPY READING.

The African ChangeMakers Program has been an eye opener for me. I have learnt a great deal. I thought I had learnt enough from partaking of the YALI RLC Emerging Leadership Program until I began the ACFellowship training; where I discovered I hadn’t. To be sincere, I have been doing online courses, but ACFellowship course materials are unique and easy to comprehend; not only that, they take you through step by step guide, as though a coach were physically guiding you through. I might be underestimating if I say I have fully maximized the resourcefulness of these materials- I simply had to do a scan through to supply answers to the assignments, but the true value of the information therein will help me, when after the program, I begin to work on my plans. I am confident that I will be led to success when I scrupulously follow them every step of the way.

ACFellowship program has boosted my confidence and assured me I can become successful in my vision. Within just 5 weeks, I have confidently applied for the kind of opportunities, I normally shied away from and have got positive responses from a number of them. It was during the program where I deliberately took a decision to become a self-led leader, worthy of emulation and my attitude has changed at work and every other aspect of life- and it is not only attracting higher respect but given me and inner feeling of fulfillment.

The case studies in the ACFellowship notes were my favorite. I loved to read them thoroughly and draw lessons from them. The story of Anjali forming ‘Picture It’ to establish a library at the Pediatric Ward of the Chennai Cancer Institute from the in-kind donations of community dwellers inspired me to revisit my plans to establish a youth hub in my community. I intend to use her concept to get it accomplished. Already, I have applied fundraising techniques learnt to draw more funders to me, educate less privileged children program and it has been amazing how people have donated to contribute to the educational needs of the children under my program.

Finally, at ACFellowship program I have been privileged to meet and network with resourceful Changemakers from different part of the country. One of which is Mr Thuku Kariuki, from Kenya who now assists me in producing videos for my United Nations Online Volunteer job at Women for Development NGO in Armenia. I have also been opportune to make recommendations and sign up for AC projects/programs, and I see these programs becoming very great and successful in the nearest future.

ACFellowship has proven to be a critical tool in building and shaping Africa’s next generation of innovative future leaders in different spheres. It’s been a wholesome experience going through five uninterrupted weeks of rigorous but rich online resources cutting across different dimensions of entrepreneurship and leadership development. With proper guidance, support and mentorship, African youths are ready to make the difference any day any time. I really appreciate the lessons learned and the networking relationships build across board. Viva Africa! I am proud, I am challenged. Long Live African Changemakers.
– Philip Kirme Velshik – ACFellow Cohort 2 (Nigeria).

 

To participate in the ACFellowship 2018 was a big opportunity for me, due to the quality of teachings I received. My life was at the crossroad and lacked vision, but my attendance at this fellowship gave me a new orientation to life. I became another mother, another wife, another colleague and collaborator, in fact the best version of myself. From now on I got back my confidence, my will and my optimism has been revived. I am grateful to this program and I have registered back to the University to obtain a research Master’s degree in Economic Sociology and intend to do a PHD. Thanks again for this human lifechanging program and I wish long life to the African Changemakers Fellowship.

The day I came across the announcement of African ChangeMakers Fellowship Program, I had hesitated to apply because I had applied to other several programs but my level of English did not allow me to be selected as I think. When I learnt that I was selected for African ChangeMakers Fellowship Program, I was very happy because I was finally going to learn new things, especially on pitching and fundraising. I am still convinced that language is not a barrier to such programs, that’s why I am proud of African ChangeMakers Fellowship Program for giving me the opportunity to represent the women of my country Democratic Republic of Congo (DR Congo). We have always said that we must have equal opportunities for men and women. but I also believe that we can be as equal as Francophones and Anglophones. Today a lot of useful technologies allow us to follow such programs even in languages ​​that we do not master well. I thank you African ChangeMakers for this opportunity and I believe you will also blossom in the francophone space by offering your fellowship program in French, Arabic, Portuguese …So that every Africans can benefit from this program. Long live ACFellows Cohort 2, Long live African ChangeMakers Fellowship Program.
 — Christy Samba – ACFellow Cohort 2 (DRCongo).

 

I learnt a lot from this opportunity, it opened my eyes that bringing change in our communities should not wait until we have huge financial means but rather willingness and seeking advice from others who are more experienced can help us to find solutions with limited budget. Therefore, we should not wait to become millionaires to work on the change. With the African ChangeMakers Fellowship, I realized why my employer uses a self steering model in management whereby most staffs have the same title position, while some are more experienced than others. It makes leadership more on working as a team than expecting to become the boss and fully appoint others to fulfill all tasks and bring a report. Leadership is about team work, guidance, vision, strategy towards achieving goals. 

I managed to develop a proposal, first on social enterprise and another on advocacy. I am feeling confident enough on developing my two ideas into full proposals towards seeking funding as I got to know about the steps from identifying project idea, writing a proposal, pitching for funding. All the aspects were really of an added value and the full experience was meaningful to me. 

I am a proud ACFellow Cohort 2, I have started to tell my work colleagues, friends and family about this program and with the upcoming call for application, I wish to see many Rwandans in there. 

Since there is an alumni community, I am willing to remain active in shaping the Africa we want, the best is yet to come but let us keep dreaming and hard work pays off. Our Continent is full of natural resources, we have to find ways as youngsters on how we can reverse the situation of migration to western countries by making our continent a safer place, with economic, political and business potential assets for success. 
– Marine Umukunzi – ACFellow Cohort 2 (Rwanda)

 

I thought African ChangeMakers Program was going to be just like any another leadership course but did it prove me wrong. I have learnt so much that I never knew and my perspective on matters on leadership has shifted. It has left a lasting impact and I’d recommend every youth in Africa to undertake this fulfilling program. Thank you, ACFellowship for making me become a better leader.
– Amanda Moraa – ACFellow Cohort 2 (Kenya)

 

African ChangeMakers Fellowship Program is a special kind of online program that is detailed and gives you chance to master and understand all these amazing courses at your own pace and in your own time.

The African proverb goes “You only think your mother is the best cook until you venture out.” So is the experience with the African ChangeMakers Fellowship – you only think you know a lot until you learn from the best. This has been my experience from being in the African Changemakers Fellowship.

For the first time ever in my entire life, it was a privilege to participate in such a life changing online/offline fellowship programme, it is so far the greatest outstanding, amiable, and lovely African ChangeMakers program. The five weeks intensive program was tedious due to personal busy engagements and usual work schedule but highly rewarding. I will never regret taking part and successfully completing the program which was greatly magnanimous. The course content was of global standard. Even when I had initially taken courses like project management, strategic planning, entrepreneurship, and mentorship, the fellowship came as an expansion of my scope of knowledge in these areas. Oh! I just remembered our discussion forum, which was characterized with insightful, timeless, and invaluable contributions, constructive criticisms, logical arguments, and intellectual discourses.

African ChangeMakers fellowship program has been a great resource and a powerful network to belong! the windows of change for a better Africa have been opened, great opportunities like AC mentor, AC community etc. The professionalism of the team, communication skills, unbeatable interpersonal skills, and social skills of African ChangeMakers team has been amazing. When it came to lessons, notes and lessons were always on time and on point. well summarized, well-marked and giving me as a student an opportunity to check my weekly performance, giving me the opportunity to sharpen my skills and how to manage time within a span of time for lessons to be taken prudently. It was an amazing platform and team to work with.

My horizon of thoughts has been increased, critical thinking sharpens and exposed to a pool of knowledge. I am proud Africa Change Maker. Africa won’t be the same.
Martin Salanda – Zambia

 

It was a great opportunity for me to be part of this fruitful program. You are doing a great job guys for Africa to change. You really deserve a lot.

Your job is really fantastic and deserves great support from Africa head of states and governments for a better Africa. Long live #AfricanChangeMakers. God bless you! – Boucar KAMA – Senegal

 

I wish to use this opportunity to thank the AC-Team members for selecting me for this program that has challenged me both personally and professionally. Through this program, I have gained excellent knowledge on how to develop a Strategic Plan, how to do Pitching and Funding, Entrepreneurship, Mentoring among others. I have been empowered with skills that have made me a change person. I am so delighted to see the organizers impacting lives when this initiative not funded. I pray that as time goes on, you will be able to find sponsors who will fund this project and help you impact the lives of many Africans. I promise that with the knowledge gained, I will share with other youths and continue to create a wave of change in Africa. Thanks to all the African Changemakers Team. Keep Impacting lives.
— Evelyn Bisona Fonkem – ACFellow Cohort 2 (Cameroon).

 

It has been a very good learning experience for me.  I wasn’t sure what to think going into this, but wow was it fun. It’s unbelievable to see the results from our first session to the last session. This gave me the strength and capability of doing better each and every time. One month of training makes me aware of the areas to focus on, provides the tools and simple solutions to work on, and even improved my performance already in some aspects. I am confident that I will see more benefit in the future as I start applying the techniques and rules learned in this course. I know am flexible and willing to tailor the training materials and content to meet the individual’s immediate needs. I’m also resourceful and be able to provide useful references and materials for my further development in other areas. I’ll request African ChangeMakers to continue help us and support all the followers with the ideas on funding, links and follow up done. Thanks, and many thanks you widen my brain now I need to implement

I want to sincerely thank the team behind the ACFellowship Program. Your selflessness and effort towards the running of the ACFellowship will never go unrewarded. ACFellowship is an embodiment of knowledge and this opened my eyes to new ideas and opportunities. I met amazing fellows during this period and have become friends and partners. Africa is beautiful but endangered with bad leadership which is giving the continent a bad image and reputation. ACFellowship is opening the minds of the youth and providing us with a platform to speak up because enough is enough. Thank you ACFellowship for this great opportunity, God Bless You.

I was part of the 2018 ACF Cohort 2 and I considered it a privilege having been selected from the high number of applicants across the continent. The 5-weeks online training, to me is an eye opener as I was introduced to a lot of concepts in running a social enterprise. Really, I am a social entrepreneur, but I was oblivious to a number of things, but this fellowship training refined me to be a better social entrepreneur. This knowledge, without doubt, is taking my project to the next level, as I’ve been better positioned by ACFellowship to do so. ACFellowship is indeed raising the next African entrepreneurs who care about the welfare of their continent even as they make profit to sustain their projects.

I would encourage anyone who would be interested in doing this program to give it their best shot and apply for because they do not know what they are missing out on. — Gerald Kihara

 

Been a great platform putting together African young leaders from every works of life. Such initiative deserves support from African Union as it is a platform where leaders can learn about pin-pointing our strengths and weaknesses while maintaining close contacts with hundreds of fellow Africans. – Bakaris Diacte

 

The course covered a lot of information, delivered in concise chunks that were easy to absorb. The structure was clear, logical and effective. African ChangeMakers Fellowship Organizers has obviously put a lot of thought and expertise into designing it. But it wasn’t just about the new knowledge. The main benefits came from doing assignments, receiving individual feedback and interacting with African ChangeMakers Organizers and other participants. This format gave me the confidence to implement new techniques on my business immediately, in contrast to my past failed attempts. I didn’t just learn “how” to write – “what” and “why” also became much clearer.
Lily Douere Bandotubo- Nigeria

 

I never thought of an organization who can offer me such a life changing training opportunity free of charge. African ChangeMakers Initiative is the spark plug Africans need. The training was down to earth; my life transformed. I recommend the program to all those who have the interest of their communities in mind. Thank you, African ChangeMakers team. Akan Etefia – Nigeria

 

African Changemakers Fellowship (#ACFellowship ) is a rare opportunity to develop Africans for Africa and it affords every participant the unique opportunity to receive life changing and soul reaching trainings in areas that are not conventionally taught in formal educational setting and this for me was the high point of my 5 weeks long program. ACFellowship truly is building a critical mass of influencers through this program and if sustained at this rate the story of Africa just got started to be rewritten to what its full potential dictates.
AIKORIOGIE, LOUIS OSAHENI – NIGERIA 

 

I have always had the perspective that the problem of Africa is embedded in colonization and nothing else. Thanks to the African ChangeMakers Fellowship for exposing me to a new perspective in looking at the challenges of Africa. Yes, I now agree that African challenges can be addressed if we promote and champion good leadership from all levels of society. – Peter Asare-Nuamah – Ghana

 

Just like I anticipated, the African Change Makers program surpassed my expectations. The course content is rich, goes into great depth, easy to read and understand, and applicable in your everyday life. It has inspired the way I run my startup and view learning.

My experience in the African Change Makers Programme, first I would like to thank the ACFellowship programme team for their support rendered to all of us as participants in Cohort 2 and thanks for giving me the opportunity to be part of the students. Before joining the ACFellowship platform, I thought I knew much about leadership and entrepreneurship. Wow. it was really an interesting experience for me to learn new things about the very subject matters. Yes, I knew the topics that were handled (planning, entrepreneurship, project management. pitching and fundraising), were not very new to me. But the knowledge, materials were really new and interesting and looked real and this made some eye opener to me. This explains why, I really love and dedicated my time to complete the training, please thanks to all the instructors/ trainers. I pledge to really utilize the knowledge and change my community and work for the betterment of my people because by doing that, I will be an epicenter for Africa’s Change. Thank you so much.  #iamthechangeAfrica needs.

The African ChangeMakers Fellowship was quite an experience for me. There is a quote “Your network determines your net worth”, through this fellowship I got to meet some amazing ChangeMakers from Cameroon determined to be the change their communities need through their various works. Thanks to the entire Team of African ChangeMakers Fellowship for this opportunity and for what they are doing to make mama Africa breed a new generation of ChangeMakers.
Enow George Agbor – Cameroon

My interest and passion are about making my contribution in the creation of long-lasting Positive Peace in Africa. Initially, when I joined African ChangeMakers (AC) Fellowship Cohort 2 Training; I was anxious because I didn’t know how I’d fit amongst entrepreneurs and business-minded people, during the Training. Soon I realized that the AC Team had already created a conducive environment which is fit for all of us. I highly appreciate the Team for selecting me to receive the training; it’s very enlightening. I am also learning how to practice the quality of humility. I hope to join the AC Team so that I may contribute the little I have to the up-coming African ChangeMakers. In addition, through receiving the mentorship I need, I believe that I shall achieve my goal:

• To give my contribution
• In the Creation of long-lasting Positive Peace in Africa;
• In order for her greatest Assets – The Human Capital to stay within the Continent, and make her really prosperous, as she should be.

Thank you very much indeed, African ChangeMakers Team, I hope that I will make you proud.

African ChangeMakers Fellowship program taught me about Planning and Project management that would be needed for my social enterprise and how to demonstrate a leadership position in place I find myself.

ACFellowship provided an excellent platform for Africa Change Makers to join their efforts in creating change. Our impact together should have impact on development, growth and sustainability elements for all African communities. As Africans, we have fallen short of our ways of making communities thrives. We have gone into the era of social, economic and political decay. Therefore, I feel it’s imperative that we amplify our voices, efforts, actions, and plans to make African a land of rich resources where each African community can harness their potential with supported systems, and processes. I want to create trailblazing change through my advocacy work and hence ensure that we seek to make African communities self-sustaining models.  – Wilhelmina Gaoses – Namibia

The ACFellowship to me has been challenging, but interesting, being a person that works in a remote area in Uganda, no electricity and poor internet connection but frequently needs access to internet to read access reading materials and later do the assignments, finding time out of a busy schedule to perform the fellowship duties to which I committed has not only been difficult but also helped me scale up my commitment. It has helped me learn more on how to balance my interests and my work, it’s nice connecting with fellow Ugandans for the ACFellowship meet-up and finally, all the educative material provided has taught me a lot. Thanks, African ChangeMakers Fellowship Program for this opportunity.

Being selected as part of the second cohort was an honour done me. To interact online without physical contact seemed at first as though it was not achievable but when the program began it was so much fun and worth every time learning or doing an assignment. The other aspect of interacting with other participants online and finally coming together to undertake a project was great and gave me so much fulfillment helping young people in an area I want to branch into. Lastly, I am proud being an ACFellow and the knowledge gained will be of great gain and use for my business and subsequent projects. God Bless

It is a rewarding experience for me being a member of the second cohort where we have learnt that as we wade through the day to day act of change leadership in our communities, sometimes without recognition and encouragement, we should not despair.
