Cohorts and alumni
137 organisations have graduated and they remain part of the network
The alumni network is the pipeline, and it is real and countable.
What is your Big Dream
Cohort 1, 2025 to 2026
In February 2026, 137 organisations graduated and joined our alumni network. Ten of them received catalytic grants totalling $80,000 toward the work proposed in their applications. 83 interns were placed with the organisations to help address their operational challenges, two of whom were later offered permanent positions.
Cohort 2, 2026 to 2027
Cohort 2 admits 100 organisations across Kenya, Nigeria, South Africa and Zambia, in health, education, energy and agriculture.
