Dear AfriLabers!
I trust we all are doing well and keeping safe.
Eid al-Adha Mubarak to our dear Muslim brothers and sisters. May this Eid bring joy, love and peace to you and your family!
As an empowering innovation network of diverse communities, it is such a delight to announce an addition of 24 hub members to the network, in this remarkable year of celebration as AfriLabs clocks 10. This addition of new members has extended AfriLabs access to 7 additional cities (Beau Plan, Iringa, Abeokuta, Damongo, Walewale, Koforidua, and Grand-Bassam) in 9 countries bringing our total number to 292 hubs in 119 cities across 49 countries in Africa.
