"For Akili Dada, entering and winning AfIA Awards reflects both our work and our values. It shows not only that we do excellent work, but also that we believe in raising standards, sharing knowledge, operating with ethics and demonstrating the results of our work to our clients and our peers. It was particularly exciting to win the Education for All Award in our organisation’s long history of empowering the girl child.”
