On July 3, 2020, Ingressive launched its non-profit arm, Ingressive For Good (I4G), to address the glaring inequities in African tech ecosystems by empowering African youth through tech training and resources.
The initiative aims to help the largest population in Africa, who are stifled by poverty and unemployment, with growth opportunities.
"The 3 core goals of Ingressive For Good are to create 5,000 jobs through partnerships, connect 1,000,000 African youth to technical skills training and award scholarships to qualified individuals studying computer science courses," said Sean Burrowes, COO and Co-Founder of Ingressive for Good.
As the COVID-19 crisis exacerbates unemployment, foreclosures, and economic recession, Ingressive For Good seeks to provide a multiplier of growth by enhancing consumer information, networking, job-creating resources, and financial inclusion through access to technology.
Interested participants can register here to be part of the I4G network and access more opportunities and resources.
Notably, Ingressive Capital doubled its investment vehicle to $10 Million two weeks ago to support the next generation of African innovators.
