Why TEAM Initiative?

Closing the gender gap in Nigeria's tech future

Too many talented Nigerian women are locked out of high-growth tech careers by limited access to training, networks, and paid experience. TEAM bridges that gap with a rigorous, community-driven pipeline designed for real outcomes.
