In 2014, Nigeria’s Muazu Adamu, a 21 year-old-student won $20,000 towards implementing his dream of lighting up Africa by boosting power produced from power generators courtesy , the Nescafé Get Started Tour. The tour returns this year bigger and better with a whopping $30,000 at stake.
The 2015 Nescafé Get Started Tour has been restyled to help African youth turn their dreams for a better Africa into a reality. From 21 April to 9 June 2015, the Nescafé Get Started Tour truck will travel across Ivory Coast, Senegal, Burkina Faso, Nigeria, and Cameroon to collect the dreams of young people: dreams of starting their own success stories and of making a positive impact on their community and on the continent as a whole. Other countries that would not see the truck of dreams can submit applications online at www.GetStartedAfrica.com.

This year, Nescafé is amplifying the Get Started Tour with digital support and a mobile campaign to exceed the impressive figure of more than 10,000 dreams collected last year. Young starters can register and submit dreams in the areas of environment, technology, culture or health and vote for the best dream on the Get Started Africa website.
A mentorship programme was included in the 2015 edition of the Get Started Tour. With the help of influencers from various West African countries, the programme will support young entrepreneurs through funding and coaching. It will also foster their entrepreneurial spirit and encourage peer networking. According to Roman Irrure, Business Executive Manager of Nescafé at Nestlé Central and West Africa, “This year’s ‘Get Started’ is about creating a deeper connection with the youth and inspiring them. It’s not just about dreaming, but making dreams more concrete and powerful.”
