A call for assistance.
Since its inception, the AprilCentaur Network has attained funding alone from our founder’s hands. However, we believe it takes more than one hand to build a nation, and invite you to join us in our mission. Aid us, and you would have helped one writer and filmmaker’s dream come true.

Trust our drive.
Contest winners are not left hanging. We pick six promising writers from each yearly shortlist to work together on a joint anthology, which they all benefit from through contracted pay and earned royalties. This is to fulfill our commitment to celebrating worthy names.

For all creatives.
Our focus rests not solely on writers. We are working behind the scenes with filmmakers and have a line of projects almost ready to grace your screens. However, we are lacking in funding. We need your help to cater to more creative minds and give them a home to earn from and grow in.

Our vision is possible.
Our project involves animators, comic illustrators, podcast hosts, artists and a plethora of creatives. To create a positive mark in the mindsets of Africans, we must bombard our kin with quality information, in order to solidify the backbone needed for a promising future.
