Ajegunle is Lagos (Nigeria) slum and home to about 3 million residents. Ajegunle.Org is a collaborative venture designed to  to connect the youth population of this community with life-changing and wealth-creating opportunities.”

Oro Blog provides an update on the project:

We hosted the orientation session on July 24, 2007. This was followed by the ICT Capacity Building component of the program which was anchored by Korean Internet Volunteers [KIV] (who were sent by the Korean Agency for Digital Opportunities and Promotion, to help PIN [Paradigm Initiative Nigeria] on the project)…PIN hopes to partner with 2 dynamic institutions who may host the different components (ICTs and Entrepreneurship) of the training beginning with the next set, and will also host a Graduation Ceremony/Public Presentation of the Ajegunle.org project in September 2007. You may download the interim project report here or from the Ajegunle.org website.
