BRIGHT YOUNG LEADERS INITIATIVE

Changemaker: Anza Tshipetane

Country of Implementation: South Africa

Bright young leaders initiative is a non profitt organization that encourages young people in

rural communities to find scientific solutions to SDG-based problems within their

communities. In September 2019 BYLI hosted a rural school innovation camp in Limpopo

South Africa to educate the youth about research, design thinking, sustainable development

goals and the 4th industrial revolution. BYLI also gave access to learning materials about

this content for students who did not attend the camp. On 28th February 2020, BYLI

is hosting a science exhibition competition to see how students have utilized the

information to bring about implementable community solution. Through this competition,

BYLI is also improving out rural students will advance in their careers and projects by

providing opportunities to present their projects internationally, providing local and

international scholarships and internships, awarding them learning resource like books,

laptops, tablets and calculators. This year the aim of byli is to have a minimum of 100

participants between grade 8 and 12 who are based in Limpopo. For more information visit
