Why this exists
Digital marketing is hiring. African Women are still being left out of it.
Brands spend more on social media, search and paid ads every year, and someone has to run those campaigns. We built this programme to put more of our own community into that seat.
The jobs exist
Every business needs a website or social media presence, and many need someone to manage it consistently. That work is real, in demand, and can generate income.
Quality Training Is Expensive
Courses that teach these in-demand skills are often expensive, making quality training out of reach for many people, especially women.
We remove the tuition cost
Our scholarship covers your tuition, so the only investment required is your time and a $30 commitment fee, with the opportunity to gain the skills and support needed to land a job or secure a client.
