ENACTUS
Founded is 1975, Enactus has active programs on more than 1,600 college and university campuses across 37 countries of the world involving more than 62,000+ students. As an Enactus student, you'll be a participant in one of the largest global student organizations. You will play an active role in shaping the history of your generation and know that you have actually helped to change the world. A very unique aspect of Enactus is that YOU and your peers get to take complete ownership of your team. You get to decide what projects to conduct, who to work with, how to coordinate projects, and how much time to invest on projects. What is largely required of you is the investment of your time. At the end, you get to develop strong leadership and communication skills, become highly analytical and more goal oriented and are better prepared to face real life challenges after graduation.
By participating in Enactus, you are considered by many business and community leaders as among the “best of the best” in your area. Companies understand the integral role that your Enactus participation has played in your development and some may even recruit at Enactus competitive events. Enactus competitions offer a critical link between you and the job market. In addition to potential internship and permanent job opportunities, there are some occasions in which scholarships, awards, and other forms of recognition are also available to students from businesses that partner with Enactus.
The Competition
The academic year ends with the Enactus Competition. This process provides teams with the opportunity to present their community outreach efforts to a panel of judges, usually business leaders, who evaluate those efforts and determine which teams had the most impact improving the livelihoods of people within their community. This competitive process creates a ‘’best-practice’’ sharing environment and fosters a healthy spirit of competition, which drives and rewards excellence.
Every country that operates an Enactus program, at minimum, organizes a national competition, from which one institution will be named national champion and advance to compete at the international competition, the Enactus world cup. Countries that operate large Enactus programs may host a series of regional competitions to narrow down the number of teams eligible to compete at their national competition. In every country around the world, and at each level of the competition, the format, rules and judging criteria remain the same.
The Enactus Experience
Through this model, Enactus is empowering university students to make a difference today while realizing the full potential they have to create a better world as the entrepreneurs and business leaders of tomorrow. As these students succeed in helping others, a powerful and lasting transformation takes place within them. They develop sharpened leadership and business skills, but just as importantly, they form a deeper sense of commitment to the community and the world around them – and their knowledge of just how far-reaching their influence as leaders can be. Enactus sets the stage for life-changing business leadership experiences that are equipping the new generation of leaders with knowledge and skills to develop more sustainable enterprises, stronger communities and a world with greater opportunities for everyone.
PROJECT
In 2015, Babcock University’s Project, H-Power, was adjudged the second best. The project involves the use of water to power an H-Power generator. Using Ijesha Ijebu as their pilot community, the H-Power generator was used to provide electricity to give the community access to water and electricity.
