Voices from Our First Cohort
Feedback from Cohort 1 learners on how the TEKI-SL initiative is transforming the lives of young Sierra Leoneans and bridging the digital divide.
"The tuition-free model gave me a chance I wouldn't have had otherwise. The 8-week Foundations course built my resilience, and now I analyze data with confidence."
Sarah
Data Analytics Track, Cohort 1
"I never thought I could be a developer while living in Freetown. The portfolio I built during the bootcamp opened doors I did not know existed."
Michael
Web Development Track, Cohort 1
"The live mentorship was incredible. TEKI-SL didn't just teach me how to code; they taught me how to learn, how to communicate, and how to thrive."

"Before TEKI-SL I had no idea what UI design even was. Eight weeks later I shipped my first Figma prototype and started taking on real design work."
