AfriAspire Fellowship Program is an Initiative built around
year-long social innovation projects that are implemented by selected
passionate youths in Nigeria and supported by founders and private
partners.
Fellows implement projects that can solve new or existing problems in
a Public Primary School in their various communities. They are provided
training and mentoring to help them grow. In this way, fellows develop
their leadership skills, enhance their understanding of youth
development, and build their non-profit management skills.
In addition to a training program for acquiring leadership
qualifications, the fellows receive intensive support for external grant
acquisition to fund their projects. In a step-by-step process, the
fellows develop their own profile and visibility in their respective
fields of interest.
Following successful completion of their projects, fellows remain involved with the Fellowship through the Alumni Program.
