Roothub Tech 101 project makes the Finals of Google Impact Challenge!
The Google Impact Challenge Nigeria, a competition to find the most innovative, not-for-profit Nigerian organization using technology to solve societal problems. The Google Impact Challenge opens Google’s arms to Nigerian social innovators working to solve challenging social issues, and asks for their bold ideas to grow economic opportunity in the country and beyond. It brings Google.org funding and the best of Google’s people and products to help turn these entrepreneurs’ ideas into reality. This challenge illustrates how technology, combined with local know-how and a firm resolve, can help to address the challenges so many Nigerians face daily.
Help @theroothub in our quest to equip 10,000 disadvantaged youths in rural areas of Nigeria with digital skills starting from Akwa Ibom State. Youth unemployment across the country is alarmingly high, especially in oil producing areas of the Niger Delta. Tech 101 provides much needed technology skills to low-income youths, empowering them in today’s digital world and helping them access employment, advance career paths, and drive self-reliance through entrepreneurship. Our goal is to equip 10,000 persons in remote and disadvantaged rural areas with the skills to apply technology to shape lives. In the next phase of the Challenge, we have the opportunity to double our funding and exposure if we receive the most votes. To do this, we need your help!
