His Highness Muhammad Sanusi II, 14th Emir of Kano & UN Advocate of the sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), in partnership with 1 Million Teachers launched the annual MSIl SDG Challenge in 2021. The aim of this challenge is to catalyze and empower teachers in developing innovative community projects focusing on SDG 4 – Quality Education, and SDG 5 – Gender Equality.

The MSII SDG Challenge Incubator is a program specially designed for teachers who want to make a difference in their classrooms, communities and beyond.

 

This program is aiming to support teachers in sub-Saharan Africa. Participants will need to be on the ground in order to develop and implement their ideas, so we ask that only practising teachers who are currently living in sub-Saharan Africa register for the Challenge.

Eligibility: Be a practising teacher based anywhere in sub-Saharan Africa

Available Grant

In the current phase of the Challenge – The MSIl Incubator participants will be awarded up to $2,000 USD to enable their innovative educational projects. At the end of the Incubator, you’ll also have the opportunity to pitch your project for a chance to win up to $10,000 USD and access to our exclusive Accelerator Program.
