What We Do

We are leveraging the strong community ties peculiar with the African community to provide a path forward for achieving the UN SDG key goals; which include education, gender equity, inclusive and sustainable growth, and reducing inequalities

Types Of Projects We Crowdfund And Execute

Infrastructure

Infrastructure

For many students across Africa, a fully-furnished classroom is a luxury as school infrastructure remains grossly inadequate. This encroaches heavily on students’ psychological and educational performance, putting them at the bottom of the radar when compared to their global counterparts. Through our platform, Alumni groups can donate towards improving the existing structures, hence, closing the gap and fostering better lives for students.

Curriculum

Curriculum

Innovative and quality education paves the way for a successful future - one that many students may not have access to due to a seemingly sub-par curriculum that has given rise to a learning crisis. On AlumUnite, private and public stakeholders can collaborate towards redefining the meaning of ‘classroom’ for students and unlocking the potential of youths in Africa through an improved curriculum.

Scholarship & Mentorship

Scholarship & Mentorship

With the right support and mentorship, dreams are not only shaped but become manifest. Alumunite provides an exclusive opportunity to mentor students - career-wise and personally - in an evolving world. You can also fund scholarships for students or host legacy scholarships for individuals in other communities.

Features

Curated Groups with P2P verification

Our built-in peer verification process ensures that alumni, once registered, are placed in secure, and structured groups with schoolmates from existing and previous schools. Each group or user is afforded the highest level of privacy on the platform

Smart Pairing of Alumni/Student Mentoring

As an alumnus, you will have the opportunity to mentor and be mentored. You will provide student(s) with academic guidance as well as career and personal development advice that will enhance the students’ experience and launch them into a successful future

Scalable Alumni/Group Governance

Each alumni group has a committee of current students and alumni excos, who help to plan, coordinate and implement programs and/or events. They also evaluate a completed project, rate the vendor and provide feedback

Crowdfunding and Crowd-Sponsorship of Campaigns

Alumni can give back to their alma mater and help current and future students in several ways. Each group can create campaigns to fund infrastructure projects, provide scholarships and mentorship or work towards improving the curriculum for students. To help decide which project to embark on, alumni groups can leverage AlumUnite’s Smart Voting features. Also, each alumnus is free to donate solely to preferred campaigns

Targeted Job/Opportunities Board

Being a part of AlumUnite can pay off in big ways. Our platform offers networking opportunities that can connect alumni with established professionals from diverse fields of study, who are in a position to help alumni and current students learn the ropes, pursue career changes, and most importantly, land jobs. Additionally, you have access to resources on professional development, career planning, and up-to-date information on current trends in the business community

Alumni Events with Tiered Business/Corporate Sponsorship

Alumni groups can host various events with sponsorship backing from businesses and corporates on the platform. The events, ranging from workshops, reunions, career fairs, etc., are a great way to help alumni create impact whilst building community and staying connected with one another

Innovative Student-Driven Project Sourcing

As the saying goes, ‘he who wears the shoes knows where it pinches.’ Our platform enables students to seek assistance by spotlighting pressing areas where urgent intervention is required. This serves as pointers to alumni groups and donors, thus, fast-tracking the development and transformation of the educational system

Vendor verification & PMO of funded projects

The AlumUnite platform enables external vendors to undertake the execution of different project campaigns being sponsored by alumni groups or individuals. Each Vendor is verified through a coordinated verification system and each project is monitored using a PMO system
