Emadeb Foundation proudly supported the Knosk 100 Naira a Day Charity School’s Hackathon, held at the school’s premises in Kuje, Abuja.
This impactful event was designed to foster a problem-solving and solution-driven mindset among students.
This term’s theme, “Innovating to Reduce Farm Produce Wastage Among Local Farmers in the Kuje Community,” challenged students to develop practical and innovative solutions for their community.
The Hackathon featured 10 dynamic student groups who approached the theme from STEM, policy, and entrepreneurship perspectives. Divided into junior and senior teams, the students presented their innovative solutions with prototypes.
Standout projects were recognized, and the 1st and 2nd place winners in both divisions were awarded cash prizes, courtesy of Emadeb Foundation.

The Hackathon aligns with one of Emadeb Foundation’s mission to promote quality education and community development.
“Knosk School’s core values resonate with our commitment to fostering innovative solutions for community progress,” the ED added.
In addition to Emadeb Foundation, the event welcomed representatives from the Ministry of Agriculture, Zenith Bank, Amnesty International, the Embassy of Ireland, and Prime University Kuje amongst others.
