This year's Summer Growth Camp was truly unforgettable! Our "Changemaker 3.0: Building the African Girl" program brought together talented girls from 6 communities and schools across Lagos for an immersive experience. We wanted our girls to know that Africa is their primary sphere of influence, full of possibilities. That's why we named our houses after inspiring leaders from across the continent's four regions. The Chief of Party, Lydia Odeh from Palladium, kicked off the program with a powerful welcome address standing as a role model for our girls.

Our curriculum was built around the Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) model, covering:

• ⁠Tech Skills: Robotics and Gaming

• Vocational Skills: Soap making and fragrance creation

• Leadership: Public speaking, debate, dialogue, and discourse (our 3D initiative)

• ⁠Etiquette: Fashion, diction, and hygiene

We wrapped up the camp with a movie watch party, inspiring our girls to take responsibility in their homes, communities, and nation.
