What happens when entrepreneurs with big ideas are given the space, support, and community to take their ventures further?

In the second cohort of EdLaunch Africa, a regional incubator by Teach For All and network partners in Africa, 17 alumni across the region set out to address critical challenges facing children across the continent—from STEM education and mental health to girls' education and climate resilience.

Throughout an intensive 12-week virtual incubator which ended in an in-person pitch convening in Dakar, Senegal in July 2026, these leaders were able to transform their early-stage initiatives into sustainable social ventures ready for impact.  

Watch the video to learn from members of the cohort as they reflect on their journey—the challenges they’re working to solve, the questions they brought into the program, and the moments that shifted their thinking.
