Renowned Ugandan business tycoon and philanthropist Dr. Sudhir Ruparelia has once again demonstrated his unwavering commitment to Pan-Africanism by sponsoring the 8th edition of the Pan African Pyramid (PAP) Global Awards 2025 through the Ruparelia Foundation.
The generous sponsorship was officially confirmed by PAP’s founding Speaker and Chairman, Andrew Irumba Katusabe, who acknowledged Dr. Ruparelia’s long-standing support of the organization.
“Yes, he called me and gave me a huge push with some good millions and other privileges,” Irumba told reporters. “But remember, Dr. Sudhir is a Platinum Member — the highest category — and has been supporting us since we started. He has indirectly supported our education, debates, and refugee projects.”
Dr. Ruparelia, who was also a recipient of the PAP Global Award 2024, is widely respected not only for his business acumen but also for his consistent support of youth empowerment, education, and humanitarian efforts across Africa. His renewed commitment will play a crucial role in the preparation and success of this year’s awards ceremony, scheduled for August 30, 2025, at the Fairway Hotel in Kampala, where he will serve as Guest of Honor.
A Legacy of Pan-African Impact
Founded in 2014, the Pan African Pyramid (PAP) is a Kampala-based non-governmental organization dedicated to reviving the Pan-African spirit of unity, self-determination, and ideological awareness. Through its slogan, “Don’t Agonize, Organize,” PAP has inspired a generation of African youth by hosting weekly debates, public dialogues, youth mentorship programs, and humanitarian initiatives.
Over the past decade, the organization has evolved into a leading Pan-African thought platform, drawing diplomats, intellectuals, policymakers, and change-makers from across Africa and the diaspora.
Honoring Excellence: The PAP Global Awards
Launched in 2018, the PAP Global Awards celebrate individuals and institutions that embody Pan-African excellence, Afrocentric innovation, and African unity. The awards highlight achievements in activism, education, governance, humanitarianism, and economic empowerment, offering global recognition to those driving Africa forward.
With support from influential Pan-Africanists like Dr. Ruparelia, the upcoming 8th edition is poised to be the most impactful and memorable yet.
