Who We Are

Building Nigeria's
Next Generation of Tech Talent

The Build Nigeria Youth Education Initiative (Build Nigeria Initiative / BNI) is a non-profit organization dedicated to developing creative talent in Nigeria — talent that goes on to provide innovative, problem-solving solutions that strengthen the Nigerian economy through digital skills.
Build Nigeria Initiative is primarily focused on building female tech talent, but to create balance, we focus on 80% girl-child tech education and 20% boy-child tech education across Nigeria. We provide our learners with laptops, resources, mentorship, access to internet-enabled hubs, jobs, and real opportunities.
