Transforming Lives Through Digital Empowerment, Local Business Development & Mentorship
Who We Are
iThrive Rural is a social enterprise and a faith-integrated digital empowerment initiative that establishes community-based hubs in rural Nigeria to provide underserved populations with digital skills training, entrepreneurship development, and mentorship.
iThrive Rural is powered by GlobalBrain Company Limited and implemented through GlobalBrain Digital Skills Academy. Our model combines grassroots impact with sustainability.
We operate local empowerment hubs that deliver high-quality training and mentorship programmes to rural youth, women, and local entrepreneurs. Through a freemium approach, we ensure inclusivity while generating revenue to grow our mission.
More than just training, we create opportunities. From helping a young woman start a digital business to connecting an artisan with online markets, we exist to transform lives from the inside out.
At iThrive, we believe purpose and profit can coexist. That’s why we are building a movement where rural potential meets global possibility—where transformation begins with a hub.
