Africa Agility Foundation

What Africa Agility Foundation does

Africa Agility Foundation is a Pan-African nonprofit founded in 2019 that delivers technology education, mentorship, and entrepreneurship programs for women and girls across Africa and the African diaspora. Its core offerings include the African Girls in Tech Academy (with a recurring bootcamp cohort cycle), the Edugility 2.0 structured learning platform, the IncubatH3R startup incubator, an Ambassadors program, Micro-Credentials, the Skill2income Masterclass, and a Period Poverty Initiative. The curriculum is organized across nine tracks covering Web Development, Data Science, AI/ML, Cybersecurity, Product Design, Product Management, Cloud, DevOps, and Blockchain, with hands-on labs delivered through third-party platforms such as DataCamp, Cisco Networking Academy, and IBM Watson Studio. Programs are free to beneficiaries.

The foundation is headquartered in Lagos, Nigeria, with a US presence in Frisco, Texas, and reports a staff of roughly 154. Revenue mechanics are nonprofit-style: donations, corporate sponsorships, charity team-building engagements, and course delivery partnerships are the primary funding channels. Named enterprise partners include Wema Bank, and the foundation has launched a $500K Rased initiative to fund 50+ community projects. In 2025 the foundation received a Nonprofit of the Year award and was accepted into the Google for Startups Founder Academy and the AWS Africa Generative AI program. The school-program vertical was opened via a Lagos Education District IV partnership in September 2025, signaling a shift from purely online cohorts to institutional K-12 channels. The foundation is not building proprietary AI products; AI/ML is taught as a curriculum track rather than deployed as a core business capability.
