🎉 We are excited and officially announce that 6 visually impaired participants made it into the Ignite Stage of the Jim Leech Mastercard Foundation Fellowship on Entrepreneurship (JLMF), Nigerian Chapter.

On Saturday, 18 July 2026, we held the yet another in-person meeting for visually impaired participants, hosted by the Elenii Shepherd Team. It was a productive and engaging session that brought participants together to move their ideas from concept to practical solutions, and participants heard the opportunity to practice pitching their pitch deck to future investors.

A key highlight was the opportunity to create and practice pitch for already carefully curated prototypes for innovations previously submitted during the Explore Phase of the fellowship. The session reinforced the importance of inclusive innovation, collaboration, accessibility, and designing solutions that respond to real-world challenges, inclusion and surpassing the limitations, challenges faced by the visually impaired participants.

Elenii Shepherd is grateful for this opportunity to keep learning, refining my idea, and connecting with other purpose-driven innovators. I look forward to the next phase of the journey and the impact these ideas can create.

The hard work and diligence to work is often measured behind close doors.

On the 25th of April 2026, we held yet again another dedicated session for the visually impaired participants of the Jim Leech Mastercard Foundation Fellowship (JLMCFF) Nigeria Chapter. Based in Jos, we hosted a physical meetup that also welcomed participants and coaches virtually from across the country.

The goal was simple: to provide a supportive, interactive environment and provide the much needed assistance in their course work progress. With a one on one session with their coach

Highlights from the session:
Back to Basics: We revisited the early stages of the curriculum to ensure every founder—especially those who faced hurdles with the initial modules—had a rock-solid foundation.

BMC AND SBMC MODEL: We moved from theory to practice with a "Design Thinking Challenge”. And assisted participants in creating a well tailored BMC and SBMC models as partaining their individual ideal ventures.

A Hybrid Community: With participants in the room and coaches joining us virtually, we bridged the gap between digital learning and hands-on mentorship.
Seeing the "lightbulb moments" as founders shared their visions reminded us why this work matters. It’s not just about completing modules; it’s about building viable, impactful businesses.

We also had sitted present the Chairman of the Nigeria Visually Impaired Association. (Plateau State Chapter) MR GODWILL JAMES DAKUS
