From Scholar to Changemaker: A Journey of Impact and Empowerment
As a proud alumnus of Jumpstart Academy Africa, I can confidently say that this program was a dream opener—a place that shaped my vision, uncovered my potential, and set me on the path to making a difference.
Thanks to the values and leadership skills I gained, I founded Equipping the Next Generation, an organization advocating for children’s rights and well-being. With my team, we have impacted over 1,000 children through various initiatives. Additionally, Jumpstart Academy Africa helped me grow as a public speaker, allowing me to speak at over 20 events and inspire diverse audiences.
Jumpstart Academy Africa didn’t just teach me—it empowered me to lead, serve, and create change. I am deeply grateful for this journey, and I hope my story encourages others to embrace the opportunities ahead.

A Transformative STEM/STEAM Experience
When I joined the STEM/STEAM summer camp, I had no idea what to expect. However, with excitement and a passion for learning, I quickly discovered a world of innovation and problem-solving. This experience challenged me to think beyond my limits, explore new skills, and connect with like-minded peers.
Through hands-on training, I developed an entrepreneurial mindset and gained valuable employability skills. The camp not only broadened my knowledge but also empowered me to see challenges as opportunities for innovation. Now, I am eager to embark on my own projects—creating solutions that will make a difference in my community and beyond.
