Boot-camp 1.0 Benin and Enugu
The pilot cohort organised by students for students at the University of Benin in 2016 and the University of Nigeria in 2019
What participants said
It was an awesome experience for me, infact it was life changing. Apart from gaining knowledge in tech, I met young amazing persons who challenged me to become better. Through GirlLEAD, I discovered my flair for tech and how to put it to use.
GirlLEAD helped me in boosting my confidence. I now know my dreams of starting a social venture is not unrealistic. With proper planning, support and communicating with those I need, I can get things done. Social entrepreneurship made me think right and see how much of a change maker and innovator I could become.

GirlLEAD answered my many unanswered questions about tech and opened my eyes to opportunities in the tech world. GirlLEAD was the right platform for me to start.
I had little or no idea about tech in question. I just love to do creative designs with my hands and at GirlLEAD, I have now learnt how to make these ideas better with technology and I am ready to give it a try and put in my best, thanks alot GirlLEAD.

Boot-camp 3.0 Benin
Boot-camp 3.0 Benin was proudly supported by the U.S. States Department.
What participants said
Massively. I had a lot of benefits from GirlLEAD. I was introduced to something I never really knew much about (Data Science ) and that has given me a new ground in my field. I now have the confidence and experience which I would put to use in writing my final year project on computational linguistics.
When I joined GirlLEAD, I had no idea what social entrepreneurship was about, but after 14 weeks of extensive learning, I not only know what it entails but I have been able to build a plan for my own social enterprise. Thank you GirlLEAD and US Consulate Lagos.
