Thrive Center Courses 5th Session: 2025-2026 Kick-Off

5 min Read

A new session begins with 110 learners, free courses, and growing impact at the Thrive Center.

We’re excited to share some great news from The Thrive Center in Douala, Cameroon!

Our 5th session officially kicked off on October 4, 2025 and will run until April 18, 2026, welcoming more than 110 motivated students ready to learn, grow, and shape their future. This session stands out for its focus on technology, leadership, and innovation, and every program remains free of charge, giving young people access to life-changing skills and opportunities.
One of the highlights of this session is the second edition of our Girls in Tech program. Last year, 21 girls participated in this empowering journey, and two teams advanced to the semi-finals—an incredible milestone for their first attempt. This year, registrations are still open, and the enthusiasm is even higher. Who knows how far our girls will go this time? With their dedication and the steady mentorship of our teachers, we’re once again aiming for the moon and beyond.

The program has already sparked a passion for technology and innovation among our young girls, offering hands-on experience, mentorship, and a supportive community that encourages them to thrive in tech careers.

Alongside Girls in Tech, students are diving into an exciting mix of courses designed to equip them for the future:

These programs blend technical expertise with essential life skills, preparing our students to thrive in an ever-evolving world.

At The Thrive Center, we believe that great learning happens in great conditions. That’s why our students enjoy free snacks, a comfortable workspace, and high-speed internet throughout their journey. Every detail at the hub is designed to keep them energized, focused, and inspired—creating the perfect environment for them to learn, connect, and truly thrive.

The impact of this work is already visible. Since its creation, the Thrive Center has trained more than 500 Students empowering youth with practical skills that open doors to opportunity.

Just this past summer, we launched our first internship program, selecting five outstanding students from a pool of twenty top performers who passed interviews and proved their readiness for the next step. This year’s top students will once again earn a chance to join our Summer 2026 internship program, because at Striving For All, we don’t just teach skills; we help youth build their professional paths.

None of this would be possible without our amazing partners, donors, and volunteers. Thank you for believing in our mission and helping us create lasting impact.

A heartfelt thank you goes to Technovation for guiding our Girls in Tech journey and to DataCamp for providing free licenses that open doors to powerful learning experiences for our students. The growth we witness every day is proof that your support truly transforms lives.

Finally, a huge shoutout to our dedicated team, whose energy and commitment continue to inspire every single student who walks through our doors.
