The Akilah Institute is changing the face of education in emerging markets - with a specific emphasis on women. We have launched our first campus in Kigali, Rwanda, and have expansions across Africa and Asia planned for the near future. We work closely with our partners in government, civil society, and the private sector to deliver a curriculum that prepares our graduates to move directly into professional careers and leadership roles. We focus on three of the fastest-growing industries today: business management and entrepreneurship, hospitality management, and information systems. Our results prove the value of our model: 88% of our graduates secure employment within 6 months of graduating, and earn, on average, 12x the national median income.
