At Edgetechies, we believe every enterprise carries two types of value: the visible kind—revenues, customers, partnerships—and the coded kind, which sits beneath the surface. For social enterprises, that coded value lies in their ability to deliver impact while also building paths to profitability and sustainability . For years, many viewed social enterprises as charity-adjacent, destined to rely on grants or goodwill. But the truth is different. When structured right, social enterprises can be among the most resilient and scalable business models of our time. Their coded value is in how they turn human problems into market opportunities —balancing purpose with business sense. Purpose as a Growth Engine The most successful social enterprises don’t chase impact at the expense of profit. They harness purpose as a growth engine. Take SkillHer , for example. What began as a safe space for women to learn and upskill has grown into a thriving community unlocking new opportunities across N...

At Edgetechies, we believe internships are more than just learning opportunities, they’re launchpads for growth, exploration, and building confidence in real-world problem solving. This month, we’re excited to spotlight Raahil Junaid , a Mathematics and Computer Science Major at the University of Birmingham, who recently completed a six-week internship with us, diving deep into both technical and professional development. Building Skills Beyond Code From day one, Raahil embraced the opportunity to strengthen not just his technical skills, but also key professional competencies. He honed his communication , mastered time management , and built greater resilience when faced with challenges in coding projects. These skills, he notes, were just as valuable as the programming knowledge he gained. Week-by-Week Highlights Week 1: Laid the foundation by exploring how the internet and websites work, backend development essentials (IaaS, PaaS, SaaS), databases, microservices, and clo...

At Edgetechies, we remain committed to empowering young people with the tools, knowledge, and opportunities they need to thrive in a rapidly changing world. This year, we were especially privileged to provide technical support to SkillHer; one of Nigeria's leading educational social enterprises  in the implementation of her  SkillHer SAW (Skill Acquisition Workshop) program. Through this collaboration, we helped enhance the learning outcomes of over 100 participants, supporting them not only in acquiring digital and entrepreneurial skills but also in developing the confidence to apply these skills in real-life contexts. By guiding the tech-related components of the program, from digital literacy to web development, we’ve seen first-hand how access to the right resources can accelerate growth, spark creativity, and open doors to new opportunities. We also provided support in enhancing SkillHer Coach; the organization's learning management system which now makes it possible f...

Nigeria, with her status as the highest population of black people in the world, and one of the highest populations of children of primary and secondary school age in the world holds immense potential. However, the education system is struggling to keep up with the demand of this youthful populace. According to UNESCO, Nigeria has one of the highest numbers of out-of-school children in the world.  Even for those who are in school, the conditions are often far from ideal.  In many public schools across Nigeria, for example, students face significant challenges that hinder their learning experience. Overcrowded classrooms, insufficient resources, and outdated facilities are just a few of the obstacles that these children confront daily.  Enter Classequip , our new initiative designed make a meaningful impact where it is needed most.
