Caption: CcHUB 30 Changemakers 2026
For 30 days, we asked 30 women from across CcHUB’s pan-African community one question: What would you give the next generation of women coming after you?
Their answers became the “She Gave. Africa Gained.” campaign.
Then we asked you the question we’d been building toward: Who should be the #31 Changemaker?
Nominations came in from across the continent. Every nomination made the case that women are changing what’s broken in their communities and building something more durable in its place.
Here are the changemakers you put forward:
Grace Irungu is Changemaker #31
Grace Irungu is a teacher in Kenya and a member of CcHUB’s Teachers’ Lounge. Her achievements show what this campaign is about.
She trained 50 teachers who now ensure that over 300 students are learning more effectively.
Grace didn’t stop at her district. She connected over 70 educators in Kenya to a global network of 800+ teachers across Africa, Brazil, and Asia, turning isolated classrooms into a larger connected community. She helped create 40 learning tools, 12 virtual and 28 physical, for the students most systems leave behind. The classrooms using her methods saw engagement rise by 60%.
Grace is a multiplier. One teacher who made 50 other teachers better, who made 300 students’ education better, who connected 70 educators to 800 more.
The 30 stories that started this campaign are still live. Hear what each changemaker would give the next woman coming after her:
