1. Opportunities Hub (OPH)
Founded in 2013, Opportunities Hub is Dr. Ruma’s most defining creation — a digital platform that aggregates scholarships, fellowships, grants, jobs, and competitions from across the world, making them accessible to African youth who would otherwise never know they existed. What started as a simple idea born out of frustration with information inequality has grown into one of Africa’s most trusted youth resource platforms, reaching hundreds of thousands of young people monthly and inspiring a generation of global thinkers, entrepreneurs, and leaders.
