Beacon Forever

Beacon Forever is the alumni network of Beacon Changemakers – a community of exceptional young African leaders supported through the Beacon Scholarship programme. The network exists exclusively to serve its members and is proudly operated by Beacon Alumni themselves.

With a clear vision anchored in the idea that “Once a Beacon, Always a Beacon,” Beacon Forever keeps the spirit and mission of the programme alive long after graduation. It strengthens lifelong connections between Scholars and sustains the programme’s impact through peer support, mentorship, and continued leadership development.

Run by Alumni. Powered by Community

What sets the Beacon Forever network apart is that it is entirely alumni-led – a dynamic expression of shared values and self-driven leadership. From hosting game nights, speaker events like Indaba, to producing original podcasts and workshops, Beacon Alumni actively shape the community they helped build. 

Why Beacon Forever matters

Beacon Forever is a testament to the long-term impact of investing in leadership. It shows that support for one student creates a ripple effect, enabling an entire cohort of leaders to rise, connect, and give back – not just once, but for life.

By supporting the Beacon Scholarship programme, contributors are not only helping bright, underserved students access world-class education – they are becoming part of a legacy network designed to sustain leadership, collaboration, and change across Africa. It’s the living proof that the good brought about by an investment in the Beacon Scholarship doesn’t end at the students’ graduation – it grows in influence as each Beacon continues to lead, inspire, and elevate others in their community and field.
