Passion, Purpose, Pamoja! The PepsiCo Foundation, IREX , and #PepsiCoWECA are putting Africa first through the Pamoja Founders Project. We’re investing in the next generation of African leaders who are transforming food security. Over nine months, our first-ever Africa-wide leadership development program has ignited a continent! Six Pamoja Founders have emerged as champions, each securing a catalytic $15,000 seed grant. But this is just the beginning. All 12 cohort members are receiving the training and mentorship to scale their ventures across #Kenya, #Ethiopia, #Nigeria, #Uganda, #Tanzania, and #Mozambique. Together, we're building a future where innovation thrives and communities prosper. Cheers to the young architects of a new Africa! Let’s relive the magic of our bootcamp and awards ceremony. #PepsiCoProud #AmazingWECA #AmazingAMESA #PamojaFoundersProject
