On this page we provide profiles of students who have been nominated for the first class at African Leadership Academy (names have been changed). If you know of a student who meets our selection criteria, please complete our nomination form.

Fungai

Fungai is a sixteen year old orphan living in Harare, Zimbabwe. She is responsible for raising two younger siblings, and despite these hardships is the outstanding student at her government high school and a leader in her community. Fungai has just completed her O-level examinations, and she achieved seven A’s in accounting, biology, geography, history, mathematics, English literature, and Bible studies. We are excited to give such an amazing individual the opportunity to apply for a scholarship at ALA.

Emmanuel

There are not many thirteen year olds who are summoned to meet their President – but this is exactly what happened to young Emmanuel last year. As a grade eight student in Rwanda, Emmanuel placed first in his country’s national examinations and was personally commended by President Kagame and profiled in the national newspapers. Emmanuel is involved in student government and also serves in his community. His teachers praise Emmanuel’s maturity and curiosity about the world.
