CyberGirls Fellowship is a free 1-year program that equips girls and women aged 18–28 with globally sought-after cybersecurity skills, getting them certification-ready and positioning them to start a career in cybersecurity.
We are on a mission to bridge the gender disparity and skills gap in cybersecurity and improve the socio-economic well-being of girls and women living in underserved communities in Africa. We do this by providing free and accessible hands-on cybersecurity training, mentorship, and internship/job shadowing opportunities that can potentially lift them out of poverty.

During my youth service, job hunting was tough. But just 2 months into the CyberGirls training program I was able to land a job as a Junior Cloud Security Consultant in Bristol.
Looking back, I realize that everything that was put in place; every person, every activity and every resource was well thought through. A perfect program for anyone that is ready for tremendous growth and change as an individual.
In less than a year I transitioned from customer service management to Cybersecurity. The CyberGirls fellowship laid a strong foundation and gave me clarity on the direction to take to advance my career.
I started the year as a professional hairdresser and ended it working as a Cybersecurity Analyst. In the Fellowship, there was a great deal of bonding and learning, I had a wonderful journey and gained a new family.
Nothing is ever easy, but you will never be left alone in your problems when you are in the fellowship. I feel really cared for and valued in the fellowship, and I look forward to utilizing the training and support I have received from the fellowship.
One life principle that has resonated with me from CyberGirls is, “With the right mindset, I can do whatever I set my heart to do”. This has helped me to stand out at work and as well as in my personal life, now I am that girl who doesn’t hesitate to spread her wings and soar to new heights.
My fellowship experience is one that’ll stick with me forever because CyberGirls created a safe space for me to expand and discover my latent abilities.
