The 2025 ELISA Business Scholars training session will be held 18-21 November 2025 in Hwange, Zimbabwe. ELISA Scholars are trained to manage business financials, develop an investor presentation and elevator pitch. After the training session, ELISA Scholars continue to meet with their coaches once a month for a year to ensure continued refinement and implementation of a business plan. They stay connected using the online ELISA portal.

We are ready to create a sponsorship package tailored to your business objectives. Packages start at $6,000 US per year. For more information, contact Michael Oyalana at michael@elisanetwork.com.
