HP, in its ongoing commitment to creating a more equitable and connected world, hosted a face-to-face meeting with the two Nigerian nonprofits selected for its prestigious 2025 HP Digital Equity Accelerator programme: SheCode Africa and Slum2School Africa.

The event, held at the HP Nigeria office in Lagos, marked a key milestone in the company’s drive to support local organisations using technology to bridge the digital divide. The programme equips nonprofits to strengthen capacity and scale impact, particularly for communities that have been historically excluded from digital progress.

Each selected organisation is receiving $100,000 in HP Foundation grants, HP technology valued at approximately $100,000, and six months of tailored programmatic support aimed at scaling their digital equity solutions. The support includes mentorship, technical assistance, content development, and impact measurement tools to deepen reach and sustainability.

Speaking at the event the Country Director for HP Nigeria, Emmanuel Eze, reaffirmed HP’s broader purpose beyond business: “HP is a household name, and while we are here to do business, our greater purpose is to make an impact in the world.

That’s why we forge meaningful partnerships like the ones we have with Slum2School Africa and SheCode Africa.

“Working with organisations like these gives us more platforms to reach more people and truly live out our commitment.”

Josephine Kolawole, Marketing Coordinator for HP CAF, highlighted the significance of the local team’s achievement. “We pitched for this alongside several countries and won by showcasing our profound impact and unwavering commitment to digital equity here in Nigeria,” Josephine stated. “This win underscores our dedication to creating opportunities through technology.”
