Tony Elumelu founded the Tony Elumelu Foundation in 2010, which has become a pan-African philanthropic platform focused on entrepreneurship across all 54 African countries. In 2015, the Foundation launched its flagship programme, backed by a $100 million commitment from Elumelu and his wife to identify and train young African entrepreneurs. The Foundation's work has provided opportunities for young Africans with ideas and courage, and Elumelu's philanthropy is described as a deliberate instrument for changing lives and reshaping Africa's future. Fifteen years after its founding, the Foundation's impact is increasingly seen in the stories of young Africans who were given a chance to pursue their ideas.
