Stories

African youth and diaspora changemakers doing extraordinary things, in technology, care and support, infrastructure, and every field in between. We tell their stories so the next generation knows what's possible.
“Before Cimentar Futuro, I had no idea what I wanted to do after school. The Development Forum changed everything. I met a product designer who looked exactly like me, doing work I'd never heard of. I applied for an internship the same week.”

“The soft skills course helped me write a CV that actually got responses. Within three months of graduating I had my first remote job. I genuinely don't think that happens without Cimentar Futuro.”

“The scholarship database alone was worth joining. I applied to four scholarships I found through the community hub. Two came back to me. One of them is fully funding my master's degree.”

“I was a biology graduate with no clue how to pivot. My mentor through Cimentar Futuro spent six months helping me build a portfolio. I'm now working as a data analyst for a company in the UK — remotely from Lagos.”
