LEAP Africa has officially opened applications for the 2025 Social Innovators Programme (SIP), inviting young changemakers across Africa to apply. This initiative is designed for social entrepreneurs aged 18 to 35 who are already solving challenges in their communities and are ready to expand their impact.
“This is not just another accelerator. It’s a launchpad for visionaries who are rewriting Africa’s story through purpose, innovation, and leadership,” LEAP Africa stated in a release.
The programme offers a powerful mix of mentorship, funding access, and practical training. Participants will receive one-on-one mentorship from top industry experts, tools to ensure enterprise sustainability, and visibility across Africa’s innovation network. They will also gain access to diversified capital that supports both profit and social impact goals.
“This is your moment,” LEAP Africa emphasized. “Past fellows have built award-winning startups, led government reforms, and impacted millions.”
The programme spans six weeks of intensive enterprise training and four months of mentorship. Social enterprises must be based in Africa to qualify, and applicants must be ready to scale and lead with boldness.
Registration comes at a fee of $250 or N375,000, with a limited early bird rate of $200 or N300,000. The deadline for all applications is July 24, 2025.
