LIFT Initiative has successfully concluded a month-long Digital Skills and Girl-Child Empowerment Bootcamp, providing 16 secondary school girls with practical skills, knowledge, and opportunities to support their personal growth and future development.

The programme, which took place from 4 August to 29 August 2026 at Activ8 Hub, Awka, Anambra State, created a space where the girls could learn, explore, collaborate, and build confidence in their abilities.

Throughout the bootcamp, participants gained foundational digital literacy skills, including computer operations, email communication, office practice, and office management. They also explored Canva design, Artificial Intelligence for problem-solving and productivity, and an introduction to Jita Future. Through practical exercises, projects, and interactive activities, the girls developed creativity, critical thinking, teamwork, and problem-solving skills.

Speaking on the programme, Uche Ralph-Opara said, “At LIFT, we believe in creating pathways and opportunities that enable young people, especially girls, to discover their potential and become more. Empowerment is about giving them the skills, exposure, confidence, and support to grow and take ownership of their future. When we invest in our children and young people today, we are contributing to the growth and transformation of our communities tomorrow.”

The bootcamp forms part of LIFT Initiative’s broader commitment to empowering women and children, creating opportunities for growth, and equipping young people with the skills needed to thrive in an evolving world.

LIFT also organised a two-day AI Literacy Class for teachers who participated in its International Day of Girls in ICT programme, strengthening educators’ understanding of AI and its practical applications for teaching, learning, and productivity.

Through these initiatives, LIFT continues to Lift, Inspire, Foster, and Transform by creating pathways that turn potential into possibility and opportunity into lasting impact.
