About this ebook
Making Futures tells the story of a dynamic Africa, through the eyes of some of its youngest and most promising entrepreneurs.
The 17 entrepreneurs profiled here are already shaping Africa's future and creating prosperity for millions in fields such as healthcare and energy, film and TV, advertising and agribusiness. From Eric Muthomi in Kenya, who has built a successful business creating multipurpose flour from bananas to feed babies, to Farida Bedwei, co-founder of the largest microfinance banking software platform in Ghana, Delle tells the story of these extraordinary women and men who are building innovative business and not-for-profit enterprises.
In his engaging and intimate style, Delle provides a glimpse of the history and political economy of each country, detailing a thriving business environment whilst challenging the simplistic “Africa Rising” narrative.
