The Edutainment Africa Awards Are Back

After a 5 year hiatus, Africa’s first nobility awards return with a bigger cause to give back to street and ghetto children. Speaking about the event, the executive director of the awards Innocent Ogwal said, “We plan to build an educational center where these children will have a platform to build their skills and talents to empower them to learn to earn an honest living,” adding “We are inviting as many partners as possible to be part of this cause.”

The Talent Development center will be a hub where kids from disadvantaged communities can walk in and access all learning opportunities to nurture their talents and realize their dreams. Many of these young people have dreams and if given a platform where they can express them freely, those dreams could be realized. All proceeds from the event will go towards this cause.
