Mojoyinoluwa is a young innovator and children’s rights advocate using technology to fight childhood hunger in Nigeria. Inspired by Malik, a 7-year-old street beggar who shared his food despite his own hardship, she created Food911, an app that streamlines food distribution to vulnerable children. Built with UNICEF data and supported by strategic partners, Food911 has already provided over 1,000 meals while raising awareness of Nigeria’s hunger crisis. Mojoyin’s vision connects compassion with innovation, proving that young people can design scalable solutions to national challenges.

Her work has reached more than 100,000 people through media features on CNN, BBC, and Nigerian outlets, while offline she has delivered direct aid, literacy programs, and mentorship opportunities. A keynote speaker at Africa’s Girls Tech Summit and author of Tribes Apart, she also became the youngest Cisco-certified IT instructor at 13 and represented Nigeria in international robotics competitions. Recognized with the Technovation 2024 African Zonal Final award, Mojoyin demonstrates that technology, empathy, and youth leadership can transform the lives of children in need.
