About I4G
Ingressive for Good is a non-profit organization launched to address the glaring inequalities within African tech ecosystems. Our mission is to empower young African tech talents in need, to reach full potential through learning and the power of work.
We do these in 4 ways – Microscholarships, Technical Training, Talent Placement, and of course the community – I4G Circle. This is where you come in.
I4G Circles are communities in cities and campuses all over Africa made up of Young Africans passionate about Tech and leveraging it to solve problems.
