NASE Africa was founded in 2018 with a simple yet powerful vision: to harness the entrepreneurial potential of African youth to drive sustainable development across the continent.
What began as a small initiative in Uganda has grown into a vibrant organization operating across East Africa, providing training, mentorship, and resources to thousands of young entrepreneurs.
Our journey has been shaped by the incredible resilience and creativity of the entrepreneurs we work with, who continue to inspire us with their determination to create positive change in their communities.
