Still on cloud 9 🥰🎉🎈💃🏽

“Never underestimate the power of a small group of committed people to change the world. In fact, it is the only thing that ever has.” ~ Margaret Mead

Grateful to everyone who supported this vision. This is just the beginning. Together, we would impact many more underserved communities across Africa ~ Mama CAIN 😊

At the beginning of the year, I almost missed the opportunity to interview for a major opportunity in my field because I hadn’t checked my spam folder in a long while. 😩

When was the last time you checked your spam folder? 👀

You never know what opportunity might be waiting there.

60% of our new ICT4U cohort had never used a computer before joining us.

They are SS3 students, aged 15–16, preparing for the next stage of their education and careers.

For context, students their age with prior keyboard experience typically type at around 30–45 words per minute (WPM). Our students started at an average of just 12 WPM, with individual scores ranging from 2 to 21 WPM.

For some, typing meant finding each key carefully, one finger at a time.

That 12 WPM is not a measure of their potential. It is a measure of where access begins.

Over the next four months, we’ll help them build digital skills, confidence, and the foundation to use technology for learning, work, and opportunity.

We’ll measure the progress. We’ll celebrate the milestones. And we’ll keep building from there. 💪🏾

Be part of their transformation.

❤️ $20 / ₦30,000 monthly can provide academic tutorials for one student.
⭐ $45 / ₦67,500 monthly can support one student with tutorials, digital skills, technology, library access and mentorship.
🤝 $90 / ₦135,000 monthly can support two students.
🌍 $225 / ₦337,500 monthly can support five students.
❤️ $450 / ₦675,000 monthly can support ten students.

Maybe this is not the life you imagined yet, but don’t give up on the one God is still writing for you. (I say this to myself too.)

What is meant for you will not miss you. Keep praying. Keep believing. Keep showing up. One day, you’ll look back and realize God was answering prayers you had almost forgotten you prayed. 🙏🏾🤗

Plus, what makes you think there is another life? 🤔 Please be optimistic about your outcome in this life. 💪🏾❤️🤗

One of the interesting things about working at the grassroots is that you never really know what the day will bring. ❤️

I was working in the field, and somehow ended up carrying and soothing a baby until he fell asleep so his mum could get on with what she needed to do.

It’s a small thing, but I think these moments matter too. Sometimes, leadership simply means seeing where you can help and helping.

No big speech. Just lend a hand when you can. ❤️

We rarely know how close we are. Sometimes, the rejection that makes you want to give up is the one that comes right before the opportunity that changes everything.

So apply again. Ask again. Try again. Knock on another door. Shoot your shot. 💪🏾💪🏾

You don’t need to know how many “no’s” are ahead of you. You just need to be willing to keep going until you find your “yes.”

And honestly… imagine giving up when you were only one “no” away. Ahh.. God forbid 😂😅🙏🏾
