The Problem

Talent is abundant. Opportunity is zero.

Over 50,000 young people in Warri North's riverine communities (Jakpa, Tebu, Gbokoda, Ebrohimi, Ajamita, Udo, Ogheye, Otonla, Oboghoro, etc) are digitally excluded. No coding schools, no remote job training, no access to freelance platforms. Youth unemployment forces migration or restiveness.

Our Vision

A global tech talent pipeline from the creeks.

To transform the Benin River creeks from an oil-dependent, isolated region into Africa's first creek-based global tech talent pipeline. A child in a canoe today, building Al for the world tomorrow.

Current Phase - Phase 0

Building the Physical Home.

We cannot launch a tech hub in a dilapidated school. The Ebrohimi Primary School and Teachers Quarters are in very bad shape; no ceilings, broken windows, no doors, no furniture, leaking quarters.
