- [EVOLVING FOR IMPACT: A NEW SEASON FOR ASEW AND SIS 8.](https://aseworkshop.com/evolving-for-impact-a-new-season-for-asew-and-sis-8/): Since we launched our first workshop back in 2019, our mission has been clear: to support, build, and sustain social enterprises across Africa. We have spent the last few years working hand-in-hand with you, navigating the core challenges of funding, scaling, and operational efficiency. Together, we have grown from a small group of curious innovators into a sprawling, vibrant community spanning Nigeria, Namibia, Tunisia, Zambia, Ghana, Kenya, Malawi, Ethiopia, Uganda, South Africa, and beyond. As our community has expanded, so has the nature of our work. We’ve realized that the rhythm of daily capacity building is fundamentally different from the […]
- [WHAT PAST WINNERS WANT YOU TO KNOW ABOUT APPLYING FOR THE SUSTAINING IMPACT PRIZE.](https://aseworkshop.com/what-past-winners-want-you-to-know-about-applying-for-the-sustaining-impact-prize/): When we unveiled the theme for the 8th Sustaining Impact Summit: “Systems that Sustain – Building Impact that lasts in Africa”—we knew we were asking our community to lean into a challenging conversation. We are moving away from the “Hero Phase” of social entrepreneurship and stepping into the “System Phase.” But what does that actually look like? To bring this to life, we recently hosted a live session with three of our past Impact Prize winners: Omoyemi Oladiran (El Plethora Vocational Academy), Oguguamobi Oyesiji (Mobi Designs), and Happiness Adama (Happi LC & Totes). These women didn’t just share success stories; […]

For us at ASEW, we spent the first month of the year behind the scenes, listening to your feedback, looking at the African social impact landscape, and asking ourselves one tough question: How can we help our community move from passion projects to sustainable powerhouses? We’ve all seen the “New Year, New Me” posts fade away by February 1st. But for social innovators and founders, the stakes are too high for the momentum to drop. That’s why we’ve spent this time refining our approach. The result is a 2026 roadmap […]

It became the fuel behind Rays of Hope Support Initiative (ROHSI) — a nonprofit on a mission to bridge the healthcare gap for underserved Nigerians. What began as a personal mission has now blossomed into […]
