Anzisha
Anzisha believes in the power of accelerating youth entrepreneurship by influencing key stakeholders (parents, educators, investors, and policymakers) to invest in young entrepreneurs. To achieve this, partnerships and communities are vital to building a sustainable movement that positions entrepreneurship as a first-choice career path. <br><br> The FAST Program, in partnership with the Mastercard Foundation, supports recent university graduates who are beginning their entrepreneurial journey. It provides them with the tools and resources they need to build and grow their businesses. <br><br> <mark>Participants receive access to funding, customized business development training, opportunities for personal leadership growth, and a supportive community of like-minded entrepreneurs and mentors.</mark> <br><br> Building on this foundation, the Idea and Build programs offer participants essential business development modules, seed funding, and the chance to turn their ideas into viable enterprises. These programs focus on achieving measurable outcomes such as job creation, increased sales, and lasting social and economic impact.
