The Mary Ojulari Foundation has announced the opening of applications for the Vanguard Fellowship Cohort 2, its flagship entrepreneurship initiative designed to identify, equip and elevate visionary innovators across Nigeria. Building on the success of the inaugural cohort, which supported 25 entrepreneurs with $125,000 in business growth funding, the foundation is inviting a new generation of change-makers to join the vanguard community.
Speaking about the initiative, Mrs Mary Ojulari, Founder of the Mary Ojulari Foundation, said the Fellowship is designed to bridge the gap between innovation and opportunity.
“There are so many ideas that fade, not because they lack potential, but because they lack access to capital, mentorship and the right mindset.
“The Vanguard Fellowship exists to nurture those ideas and the exceptional individuals behind them. We’re building a community of bold thinkers who lead with purpose, create sustainable value and inspire others to rise,” she added.
She said the empowerment, at its core, must create a ripple effect, transforming individuals while strengthening the communities they serve.
“Our goal is to support founders, who are intentional, disciplined and ready to build solutions that make lives better.
The impact must circulate, when one is lifted, others should rise too.”
