Summary
EveryGirl is an annual program within the foundation designed specifically for young women
entrepreneurs between the ages 15-19 with interest in tech and tech-related fields, as well as
innovative and sustainable ideas. It hopes to equip these fellows with the necessary tools in
the form of training sessions, mentorship, and seed funding to scale their ideas.
Impact
With a consistent dip in internet penetration and technology adoption, while assuming the
influence of the early formative years in adulting, and the social challenges faced by women,
EveryGirl hopes to increase female participation in entrepreneurship and technology-related
fields. To do so, EveryGirl will partner with individuals, organizations and leaders across the
six geo-political zones in the country, who will each nominate 10-12 participants within the
eligibility criteria. The program hopes to work with a minimum of 100 and a maximum of
120 girls every year.
Body of work
The program will be divided into; 2-4weeks virtual training, 2weeks for application to
selection of 10 fellows for the physical meetup, 9days physical meetup which will include the
pitch/prize day, and 1week extra virtual training to round up the program.
