As they begin the 2025 - 2026 school year, our scholarship girls continue to thrive! We have 46 girls total at four partner schools - Brightland Academy in Enugu, Lightway Academy in Abuja, Fruitful Vines College in Ibadan, and Baptist High School in Jos.
Last year, a grant from the British technology company Smiths Group allowed us to provide advanced, hands-on STEM education to girls and online STEM lesson accessible thousands of impoverished girls and boys in Nigeria. We held STEM Summits in Abuja, Ibadan, Awka and Enugu.
2025 Creative Arts Summit
David Oyelowo used the power of creative arts to uplift young women in Nigeria. The Selma and Lawmen: Bass Reeves actor spent the weekend in Enugu, Nigeria, hosted a Creative Arts Summit (from Jan 29 to Feb, 2) at the Brightland Academy through his David Oyelowo Leadership Scholarship for Girls, in partnership with GEANCO Foundation. Joined by his wife, actor and producer Jessica Oyelowo, he led discussions on acting, music, photography, AI, digital art and performance, showing young women how creative expression can shape their futures.
