From September 1 to 6, 2025, YES alumna Tompet Jessica and her team successfully implemented the "Digital Hope" Program in Yaounde, bringing together 30 orphans and IDPs aged 15 and above for a transformative week of tech and leadership training. They received practical sessions on leadership, Microsoft tools, cryptography, and coding.

Over the course of one week, participants not only gained valuable skills, but also received mentorship and technical guidance from our incredible partners, TechGirls Cameroon and My African Womanhood.

A big THANK YOU to the dedicated facilitators, partners, and volunteers who made this journey possible.
