After the overwhelming success of its inaugural edition, the Intel Community Reach Program is back—and it’s bigger, bolder, and more inclusive than ever. 

In 2024, the program united 436 changemakers from 35 African countries, championing groundbreaking tech solutions that tackled local challenges head-on. From AI-powered healthcare logistics in Ghana to Kinyarwanda-speaking voice assistants improving financial literacy in rural Rwanda, the program proved one thing without a doubt: 

Africa’s tech innovators are ready. 

Now, with Intel Community Reach Program 2.0, we’re not just continuing the momentum—we’re building a movement.
