Details of Mandela Rhodes Foundation.
The Äänit Prize supports initiatives that can deliver positive social impact for Africa’s most marginalized populations. The competition is open to alumni of the Mandela Rhodes Scholarship and the Rhodes Scholarship. The Mandela Rhodes Foundation (MRF) seek businesses or non-profit projects that will deliver social impact, that are feasible and sustainable prospects, and that are run by people with the capability to succeed.
Äänit means “common work” or “joint effort” in the language Koalib, a minority language spoken in Sudan. This name speaks to MRF belief in coming together to take collective responsibility for Africa’s future. It was also chosen to highlight our continent’s linguistic diversity.
