Entrepreneurship at M-PESA Foundation Academy

We’re shaping the next generation of socially-conscious entrepreneurs. At the Academy, entrepreneurship is more than business—it’s a tool for transformation. Our Entrepreneurship Programme introduces students to core business principles, then builds toward advanced enterprise development. From ideation to product launch, learners are supported every step of the way through classroom instruction, enterprise coaching, and startup incubation.

At the heart of the programme is the Student Enterprise Hub, where students manage real, student-run businesses—merging creativity, collaboration, and commercial viability in a hands-on learning environment. Through pitch sessions, innovation challenges, and industry mentorship, students learn to turn ideas into action, and passion into purpose. This approach not only sharpens business acumen but also builds resilience, accountability, and leadership.

Notable Highlights:

• Winner & 1st Runner-Up, Wavumbuzi Entrepreneurship Challenge 2024.
• Over 15 student-led enterprises annually, engaging 40+ students.
• Awards in Technovation, Enterprise Adventure, and Academy Innovation Competitions.
