You Have the Passion to Lead & Change lives, We have the Platform to Help You Do It.
Become part of Africa's next generation of Financial Literacy and Financial Inclusion Changemakers.
Across Africa, millions of people still struggle with poor financial literacy, limited access to financial services, youth unemployment, weak entrepreneurship, and poor financial decision-making. These challenges affect families, schools, businesses, and entire communities.
Many young people have the passion to make a difference, but they lack the training, certification, practical experience, and opportunities to turn that passion into measurable impact.
KAFI Foundation exists to change that. Through KAFI FinAccess, Africa's Financial Inclusion Operating System, we are discovering, developing, certifying, deploying, and supporting Financial Literacy and Financial Inclusion Changemakers across Africa.
This is more than an online course. It is a leadership journey that prepares you to create real impact while connecting you to opportunities with schools, financial institutions, fintechs, NGOs, governments, and development organisations.

Why This Pan-African Fellowship Matters
Africa needs leaders who understand money, entrepreneurship, digital finance, leadership, and community development. Communities continue to face challenges such as:
- Poor financial literacy and money management

- Low savings and investment culture
- Limited access to financial services
- Weak entrepreneurship skills
- Poor community financial leadership
- Financial exclusion
- Limited digital and employability skills

These problems cannot be solved by policies alone. They require trained changemakers working directly with people and communities. That is exactly what KAFI is building.

READ BEFORE TAKING THE ASSESSMENT
1. Read the entire platform carefully.
Before clicking the assessment button, you are required to carefully read and understand all the information provided on this platform. Do not take the assessment without first reviewing the fellowship information, eligibility requirements, membership requirements, admission process, programme expectations, and other instructions.
2. The assessment is for selection and evaluation.
The Selection & Evaluation Assessment is used to evaluate applicants for admission consideration into the next KAFI Fellowship cohort.
3. Take the assessment within the 24-hour window.
Once the assessment window opens for you, you are expected to complete the assessment within the stated 24-hour period.
⚠️ Do not wait until the final hours. Complete your assessment as early as possible.
4. Admission is based on merit.
You are required to score 60% or above in the eligibility assessment before you can be considered for admission into the next cohort.
5. A qualifying score does not automatically mean admission.
Scoring 60% or above makes you eligible for admission consideration. Final admission is subject to KAFI's selection and admission process.

The $10 KAFI Membership Activation demonstrates your commitment to becoming an active member of the KAFI Changemaker Network. It supports digital onboarding, professional profile creation, certification management, community engagement, platform administration, and continued leadership development.
⚠️ IMPORTANT: Do not make the $10 membership payment simply because you have taken the assessment. Membership activation comes AFTER receiving your admission email.
⚠️ Once you receive your admission email, you must follow the payment instructions and complete your $10 membership activation within the deadline stated in your admission communication.
Your assessment score and admission email are therefore important steps in the process.
