What began as a personal story has grown into a movement. Data for Impact was born out of my own journey of searching, struggling, and finally finding my place in the world of data and technology. I remember the countless nights of learning from YouTube tutorials, courses I could barely afford, and projects that pushed me to grow.

Those experiences planted a seed: what if others, especially young women like me, didn’t have to walk this path alone? That seed has blossomed. Today, through the Data for Impact Bootcamp, we’ve mentored brilliant young women across Nigeria, introducing them to the language of data, guiding them through analysis and storytelling, and watching them grow in confidence and capability.

But Data for Impact is more than a bootcamp. We are a community and a consultancy, dedicated to equipping individuals, organizations, and systems with the skills and tools to harness data, artificial intelligence, and digital innovation. Our mission is simple: to improve lives we may never meet through data-driven solutions.

This is just the beginning. We envision a world where data is not a barrier but a bridge where every individual, community, and organization can access the insights they need to make informed decisions, build resilience, and drive sustainable impact.

To our partners, mentors and supporters, thank you for believing in this vision. To organizations and change-makers looking to collaborate, let’s dream bigger, together. With your support, we can expand this work across borders, reach more communities, and continue turning raw data into real impact.
