Nkenne
“Looking back on our journey as a Mastercard Foundation Fellow, we are proud of how the NKENNE app itself grew from 60,000 to over 210,000 learners and we secured a seven-figure National Science Foundation award. The Fellowship’s hands-on technical workshops, one-on-one mentorship from seasoned edtech entrepreneurs, and introductions to impact-driven investors accelerated our product refinement and opened the strategic partnerships and grant opportunities that made this rapid scale-up possible.”
