Fast Forward Global is a youth empowerment program designed for African youths between the ages of 18-35 to propel them towards their next level, by providing them with a seed grant to fund their businesses, ideas, innovations, and impact initiatives.
The Fast Forward Global is an impact project designed by Dr. F. E. B. Idahosa in collaboration with Benson Idahosa University. Their work is fueled by the belief that young women and men in Africa possess dreams, ambition, and a tangible spark of potential. With the provision of intentional mentorship and support, they can rapidly transition into great problem-solvers, change-makers and leaders.
Every year, they set out to provide 100 finalists (Entrepreneurs, Female Founders, and Youths with World Impact Ideas) with a grant of $1000 each to set up and expand their ideas or businesses. This grant will provide them with the opportunity to contribute to more positive lifestyles, thereby impacting Africa.
Our goal this year is to provide 50 finalists with the sum of $1000 each. In the future, 100 finalists will be selected for the grant from the pool of applicants.
Winners will emerge from two streams this year. 25 persons from Stream 1 will be awarded $25,000. The same amount will be awarded to 25 persons from Stream 2.
