Desde o lançamento do Programa de Empreendedorismo TEF em 2015, a Fundação treinou mais de 1,5 milhões de jovens africanos no seu centro digital, TEFConnect, e desembolsou quase $100 milhões de dólares em financiamento direto a 18.000 mulheres e homens africanos, que criaram coletivamente mais de 400.000 projetos diretos e empregos indiretos. A missão da Fundação está enraizada no Africapitalismo, que posiciona o sector privado, e mais importante ainda, os empresários, como o catalisador para o desenvolvimento social e económico do continente africano.
