Jitume Omoka Dream Big Challenge 2026: East African Youth Video Contest

Explain the entrepreneurial dream you are building—and the precise skill that would move it forward

Jitume Omoka is looking for specificity rather than expensive production. Entrants can describe a business they want to start or an existing hustle they want to grow, but the video needs to name both the real opportunity and the practical skill gap standing in the way.
