Through our initiatives, we are creating tangible and lasting change in communities
Joining the Girls Code Club gave me direction and purpose. It nurtured my interest in technology and inspired me to pursue Computer Engineering. Now, as a graduate, I’m proud to say I’m living the dream that started there.
Being part of the Girls in ICT program was such an eye-opener! It broadened my understanding of technology by showing us its real-life applications, and now I’m excited and motivated to build a career in engineering.
I loved being part of the program! Working on our school’s aquaponic water filter project taught me how water can be cleaned and reused safely for aquatic animals. It was exciting to see how science and technology can solve real environmental problems.
I took part in the sack farming and agribusiness training during the GROW Program, and it has given me new hope. With what I’ve learned and the starter materials I received, I can start growing food to feed my children and even sell some to earn extra income. This means a lot to me, especially during these difficult times. Thank you, MindAfrica and ENpower, for making this possible.
That spark has grown into a career that bridges science and innovation. Meet Ogbeye Philip, a brilliant young mind whose journey from STEM discovery to healthcare innovation showcases the power of early opportunities.
At just 14, Philip found his passion for technology through MindAfrica’s after-school program at his alma mater, Oginigba Comprehensive Secondary School. From participating in MindAfrica’s Maker Faires in 2016 and 2017, to exploring Arduino and coding, MindAfrica gave him the foundation to dream bigger.
That spark has grown into a career that bridges science and innovation.
Today, Philip is a distinction graduate of Pharmacy, an intern pharmacist at the University of Port Harcourt Teaching Hospital, and a C-level executive of Hospiyou, a telemedical startup revolutionising healthcare accessibility in Nigeria.
With creativity, leadership, and teamwork skills nurtured at MindAfrica, Philip continues to break boundaries — and now volunteers to inspire the next generation of innovators.
