Testimonials from Visionaries like YOU!
The African MasterClass has been a powerful Program which really changed things for me, my club and my business. I have developed so many novel knowledge and skills to run both my club and business. I have identified the important of delegation and forget the series of advice on partnership which has made me go in search for partnerships and collaboration especially for my club.
Having an annual report is something I started which I will be consistent about. I have unlearned and relearned so many things from the MasterClass Series.

ME KOKO Breakfast Delivery

The African Masterclass has had a lot of impact on me and consequently on the organization I lead. The key issues that have directly impacted me is the importance of collaboration among the NGO actors, the need to develop an impact story and actually share my impact story with the public as well as fundraising techniques.
Up till now, our organization has been doing great work in rural communities in Cameroon but we have been depending mostly on membership contributions and donation from few friends. Now we are ready to ask from the public to scale our work. The Masterclass has transformed my person and directly the functioning of our organization.
We are already looking for opportunities to partner with organizations whose vision align to ours, documenting our impact story, sharing our work through media and implementing strategies to fundraising.

I have been greatly impacted, Africa Masterclass Series has transformed my life inside out, I have had to learn so much and gained insight to the things I thought I knew only to discover that I needed to relearn, I have had to go back to the drawing board and re -strategized.
I no longer work using blanket approach rather, all my work will be based on effective data gathering with the key stakeholders right at the Centre of it. My beneficiaries are key components of the solution I want to deliver and as such must be involved in the process of delivering change. I have equally decided to leverage on the fundraising funnels as elaborately enumerated in the course of the Masterclass.

More Testimonials
I thought I understood all there was to the social enterprise and nonprofit space till I encountered African MasterClass Series, the modules literally exposing my ignorance on a very large scale.
Thank you Ideation Hub Africa because I've looked for these insights about Social Impact and literally found ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. But now, you’ve made it easy for me and my team to run an enterprise from a knowledgeable and informed perspective.

This MasterClass has shifted my thoughts about the nonprofit space in a more positive way; especially in the areas of Impact measurement, collaboration, partnership, fundraising techniques and many more.
As the result of African MasterClass Series, my organization has adopted an impact measurement strategy which is smoothly yielding result. I have identified the prospect of restructuring my board, put into practice the various fundraising techniques and improve on my program strategy.
