About this opportunity
If a career in tech has been on your list, this fellowship was built to get you onto the path rather than just talk about it. SOLVIT AFRICA, an organisation focused on education, skills development and technology empowerment across Africa, has reopened applications for the Code2Connect Her Fellowship II, its second all female cohort.
The programme runs twelve weeks and you choose your lane from four tracks: UI/UX Design, React. js, Cybersecurity, or Django.
The organiser is candid that you do not need to have everything figured out, only the willingness to learn, grow and build toward a tech career. What makes this cohort unusual is how SOLVIT removes the practical barriers.
The programme provides laptops for those who need equipment, childcare support so that parenting is not a reason to miss out, and accessibility support for persons with disabilities.
Eligibility
Women aged 18 to 35, in line with the fellowship's stated audience, within the Africa wide scope SOLVIT carries for its programmes. The cohort application page printed an OPEN status for the Q6 2026 cohort with "
Application timeline
