Description

The Young Innovation Leaders (YIL) Fellowship (formerly known as The HELP Fellowship) is a platform created by Hutzpa Centre for Innovation and Development -- a social enterprise aimed at promoting innovation across sectors in Africa.

The Y.I.L Fellows have access to life-long mentorship and resources for growth. While, the government has a more active role in creating “the platforms of excellence”, they position ourselves to inspire that. The goal in the Y.I.L Fellowship is to create a system to scale up excellence. 

 

To achieve this, they set out to identify “the seeds of excellence” – young individuals who have demonstrated outstanding performances in their endeavors. The platform is designed to inspire them on how to get to more without settling for less.

 

The vision is to create the largest platform for innovation leadership in the world.

 

The mission is to raise excellent leaders who can inspire, initiate, manage, and lead innovation in their spheres.
