Marvella Odili Becomes African Changemakers Fellow 2018.

Founder and CEO of Save Our Needy Organisation, Marvella Odili, was recently selected as an African Changemakers Fellow. 

The African Changemakers Fellowship (#ACFellowship) Program selects impressive African visionaries between the ages of 25-40 to train and empower them to change their communities positively across Africa and beyond. These committed changemakers know best how to transform their communities and businesses.

Selected Fellows are passionate about people, planet and process. They are never satisfied with the status-quo. They push their limitation button. They think outside the box and make things happen. They take action.

More than 1,830 people from 40 African countries applied for the second cohort of the Fellowship.

Congratulations Marvella! Keep rising.
