Nigeria is Africa's largest economy and home to over 220 million people — 70% of whom are under the age of 30. This extraordinary youthful population holds immense potential, but faces a profound digital divide.
Without access to digital skills and technology education, an entire generation risks being left behind as the world moves online. BrightPath Foundation was founded to change that — providing practical, accessible, and impactful technology education to the communities that need it most.
We serve rural communities with no internet infrastructure, low-income urban neighbourhoods, conflict-affected communities, and women and girls facing systemic barriers to education. Our model is designed to scale — from Lagos to every one of Nigeria's 36 states.
