💡 Why It Matters
Every year, thousands of bright young graduates leave university with ambition but few opportunities. Many are unemployed, underemployed, or stuck waiting.
EcoMake is changing that. We’re building a generation of engineers who don’t wait for jobs — they create them.
By giving students the power to build, test, and launch their own ideas, we’re not only improving employability — we’re driving innovation, solving local problems, and creating a new path forward for African youth.
