Dear Partners and Supporters,
This quarter, we did not receive any donations, and as a result, we have not yet been able to begin implementation. The Samony Youth Tech Academy for the RYEN Program is a highly capital-intensive project, requiring significant investment in digital infrastructure, equipment, training tools, and qualified facilitators.
Despite this challenge, our commitment to building a world-class youth tech academy that will empower young people across Southeast Nigeria remains firm.
About the Project
The Samony Youth Tech Academy aims to:
Train youth in high-value technology and digital innovation skills
Provide access to computers, internet, and modern learning resources
Prepare young people for the future of work through RYEN – Rural Youth Empowerment Network
Create pathways for employment, entrepreneurship, and long-term growth
This project will reshape the future of many young people, but it requires substantial support to begin.
Current Status
Curriculum and program framework are already developed
Partnerships with local communities and schools are in place
Training modules for ICT, coding, and digital literacy are ready
The only limitation is funding to launch the academy and procure equipment
