UNICEF and Airtel host the first “Pitch Night” event, inspiring innovation and entrepreneurship among Rwanda’s youth
For seven young entrepreneurs in Rwanda, this Wednesday was no ordinary week day. This was the day of “Pitch Night”, the event they had been looking towards for nearly two months. Resulting from a partnership between Airtel and UNICEF Rwanda, Pitch Night was the culmination of a rigorous competition for young entrepreneurs in Rwanda, offering youth 25 years old and below a chance to submit their business and project ideas for consideration. These seven, comprising five finalist projects, were shortlisted from over 100 applicants, and had recently completed several business coaching sessions with UNICEF’s partner organization, Inkomoko Business Development.
