Africa has the youngest population in the world. According to the United Nations, the continent’s youth population (aged 15-24) is expected to be more than double the 2015 total of 226 million by 2055. Major economies boost with an exponential growth in the youth population, however, the African system is known for its hostile factors such as poverty and unemployment which hinder the youth contributions.
Ingressive For Good aims to create 5,000 jobs through partnerships and training, connect 1,000,000 African youth to technical skills training and award partial scholarships to qualified individuals studying computer science courses in line with their overarching mission to leverage need-based resources, learning, and the power of work to empower African youths in tech.
