The Organizations
Social innovators working to solve some of Africa's most pressing issues:
Program Support
Made possible by the Skoll Foundation
This program was built as a collaborative effort between the Skoll Foundation and the Video Consortium, and is guided by one of the Foundationâs guiding principles: âWe trust those closest to the challenge to lead the change. We aim to support those most proximate to the problems, those crafting solutions in close partnership with the communities most impacted."
Program Support
In Partnership with Docubox
Docubox is the East African Documentary Film Fund that exists to enable talented, driven, focused and accountable East African artists to produce unique films that unearth new realities and cross trans-national boundaries.
True stories. Real solutions.
