Our Work in Nigeria
Every program is led on the ground in Enugu and backed by a U.S.-based 501(c)(3), so local knowledge and global reach work together.
Students register online and are matched with professionals around the world, guided by our Peace, Agriculture and Technology (PAT) framework.
Five weeks of hands-on training at CIDJAP, Enugu, in Basic Computer Application, Graphic Design and Web Development, with laptops, mentorship and wellness programming.
School-based clubs across Enugu State that anchor our work with students and are where our Boot Camp cohort came from.
The Story So Far
Students are asking for guidance in medicine, technology, engineering, agriculture, law and business. Professionals anywhere in the world can give one or two hours a month.
