🥳🗓️ Happy New Week #AfricanEntrepreneurs!! This powerful quote by Our Founder, Tony O. Elumelu, C.F.R reminds us that dreaming is just the beginning, it’s the action that defines success! “You need to realise that to dream is one thing, to get it done is more important – execution! When you have done the reality check, repurpose your goal. Afterwards, translate this dream or purpose into action because it is that translation that defines success.” - Our Founder, Tony O. Elumelu, C.F.R #EmpoweredByTEF #TEF2024

In 2015, Ogechi Esimai had an idea to come up with creative ways for children to learn, discover new things and be innovative. One random evening, her husband returned from work with a newspaper ad that said “Become a Tony Elumelu Foundation Entrepreneur” and encouraged her to give it a shot and apply to #TEF2015. What was initially just an idea has grown to become TAW Academy, a creative education company that designs fun learning tools that develop success skills in children ages 0 to 1. Since participating in the Tony Elumelu Foundation Entrepreneurship Programme in 2015, TAW Academy has impacted over 40,000 children in schools. Listen to this amazing to Ogechi, as she shares her inspiring success story at the TEF- US Government Special Reception Event. #EmpoweredByTEF #TEF2024
