The GOAL

EQUIPPED LEADERS who improve well-being within their spheres of impact.

They are mentors that multiply themselves by imparting skills and life-changing values.

What we do

By focusing on spiritual, character, leadership and professional skills development, we educate and inspire leaders in various pillars of society to become agents of change in their communities and nations.

  • Purposeful Leadership

    Our students are vibrant, dynamic and committed leaders with a passion for influencing and transforming their communities.

  • Change Agents

    We exist to bring about transformation in a continent that desperately needs new answers for old problems.

  • Multiplication

    When students enroll, we require them to identify at least ten leaders from their communities to mentor.

  • Application

    Our leadership programs are designed to support the practical application of knowledge in the African context.

How we do it

A NETWORK OF INFLUENCERS reaching into the remotest areas of Africa

The EMIT strategy is unique, and IT WORKS! We developed an indigenous curriculum for leaders within different spheres of influence. Our material encompasses three main areas:

- Spiritual and character development
- Leadership development
- Professional Skills development

  • Understanding influence

    Understanding that all leaders have influence is the foundation of the EMIT strategy. All leaders can inspire others to action and change.

  • Believe in the indigenous leader

    The indigenous leader is at the center of the solution for the problems of Africa. Africa doesn’t need charity - she needs quality leaders.

  • Indigenous training facility

    EMIT was birthed in Africa by Africans. More than 90% of our training faculty is African - our teachers understand the continent and its people. They teach from personal experience.

  • Changing the narrative

    Africa is rising. To an outside observer, the change may seem slow, but to us on the ground, it is becoming continuously more and more evident that something radical is happening. This change that we initiated has a life of its own. We are picking up speed! Africa is rewriting her narrative as the continent of opportunity.

  • Unique Curriculum

    The EMIT curriculum has been developed over almost 30 years by Africans. It demonstrates an understanding of the African culture, people and challenges. We approach these with clarity and wisdom. The curriculum addresses the complete person by focussing on spiritual, character, leadership and skills development.

  • Multiplication Impact

    EMIT students are required to multiply themselves by enlisting at least ten other leaders and equipping them with the same training material. This multiplication-methodology impacts communities that would otherwise be far beyond the reach of conventional training institutions.

  • Taking responsibility

    Change must come from within. We challenge our leaders to take responsibility to implement change and not become dependent on external support.

  • Huge footprint

    EMIT has trained over 530 000 leaders in 30 years. We are an established brand with a proven impact for change in communities across the continent.

  • 30 years of experience

    EMIT has proven longevity in training leaders in Africa, giving us an advantage over others that have little or no knowledge of the continent, its culture, diversity, and challenges.
