We are excited to announce that after going through several selection rounds, 16 #EdTech companies have been selected as finalists for the Mastercard Foundation EdTech Fellowship. These are the companies from which 8 fellows will be selected to join the program. They will take part in a Diagnostic Camp from May 11-13, 2026, where we will have deep dive sessions to better understand their needs and support their growth. This will be followed by the final pitch sessions on May 14 -15. The process will conclude with the selection of 8 companies that will join the fellowship as Cohort 1 Fellows. Congratulations to all the innovators who made it to this stage! #schoolnetglobal @heptadev @zorabots @Wekraft_Ltd @WithinTech_Rda @SmartClassRw @soma_found_rw #thetechguardians #BrainInk @Umurava_ @nyerekatech @GlobalNexusInt @nelevat @BeruloFoundati1 @creativity_rw @EdtechCenter If you have any questions, please #contact us at [email protected]. #RWedtechfellowship #YoungAfricaWorks
