Why not split the prize money over  a range of winners ( like the best 20 memes).

My name is Yetunde Ajayi. I was introduced to effective altruism this year through 80,000 Hours. However, I had previously encountered its core ideals during my time volunteering at a food bank in Canada. Since then, I’ve resonated deeply with the principles of effective altruism and have been exploring ways to apply them meaningfully—particularly in the area of digital inclusiveness for Africa, and Nigeria in particular.

Given the slower pace of infrastructural development in this region compared to more developed nations, I believe that promoting digital inclusiveness can help bridge economic inequalities and open up more opportunities for meaningful participation in the global economy.

I recently attended EAGxNigeria25 in Abuja, where I actively engaged in talks, one-on-one meetings, and workshops. It was inspiring to collaborate with others passionate about effective altruism across various domains, including global health, climate change, animal welfare, and AI safety. However, I observed that digital inclusiveness hasn’t received as much attention on the global EA agenda.

This is why I’m particularly excited about the opportunity this forum offers—to engage more deeply with like-minded individuals and explore how the ideals of effective altruism can be harnessed to develop impactful initiatives in digital inclusiveness. I’m eager to learn, collaborate, and grow under the mentorship and guidance of those already working in this space.
