Today marks an exciting milestone in advancing innovation in Rwanda's education as the
#MastercardFoundationEdTechFellowship, implemented by the Rwanda ICT Chamber in partnership with the
@MastercardFdn, officially kicks off cohort 1.
The Fellowship aims to strengthen Rwanda’s EdTech ecosystem by supporting innovative, locally driven solutions that expand access to quality education, particularly for historically underserved communities. By empowering high-potential EdTech startups, the program seeks to accelerate the development and adoption of digital learning solutions that improve educational outcomes across the country.
Throughout a six-month acceleration, the selected
#EdTechcompanies will receive mentorship, strategic guidance, business coaching, access to science of learning courses, and equity-free grants of up to USD 50,000 to help scale their impact sustainably. Each startup is expected to reach at least 5,000 learners, contributing to a projected collective impact of more than 40,000 learners in every cohort.
Congratulations to the
#Cohort1 fellows
