The Developer Circles Andela: #BuildforSDG Challenge is a six-week immersive program where selected developers will work in agile remote teams to innovate on projects relating to the SDGs.

The social network said in a blog post that its goal is to engage 7,500 developers and give them real-world experience working on high-value, high-impact projects.
