Nous sommes la principale organisation philanthropique qui donne du pouvoir aux jeunes Africains dans les 54 pays africains.

La Fondation Tony Elumelu (TEF) a été fondée en 2010 par Tony O. Elumelu, Cfr ; Un entrepreneur, investisseur et philanthrope passionné par le développement économique de l'Afrique.

The Tony Elumelu Foundation is the leading philanthropy empowering a new generation of African entrepreneurs, driving poverty eradication, catalysing job creation across all 54 African countries and ensuring inclusive economic empowerment. Since the launch of the TEF Entrepreneurship Programme in 2015, the Foundation has trained over 1.5 million young Africans on its digital hub, TEFConnect, and disbursed nearly US$ 100 million in direct funding to over 20,000 African women and men, who have collectively created over 400,000 direct and indirect jobs.

La mission de la Fondation est ancrée dans l'Africapitalisme, qui positionne le secteur privé et, surtout, les entrepreneurs comme catalyseur du développement social et économique du continent africain. La capacité de la Fondation à financer, former, encadrer et mettre en réseau de jeunes entrepreneurs africains a créé une plateforme unique pour catalyser la croissance à travers le continent africain.

The robust ability of the Foundation to reach entrepreneurs across geographies and sectors has enabled it to conduct innovative partnerships with the European Union (EU), United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC), the US Government via the United States African Development Foundation (USADF), the Organisation of African, Caribbean and Pacific States (OACPS), the French Development Agency (AFD), the German Development Finance Institution (DEG), the German Agency for International Cooperation (GIZ), the African Development Bank (AfDB), and Google, with bespoke programmes including targeting female empowerment and growth in fragile states.
