With SKEMA’s support, a student commits to digital education in Cameroon
In Garoua, northern Cameroon, a digital training centre is set to open thanks to the initiative of Élisée Nlemba, a student in the Mastère Spécialisé® Manager of Projects and Programmes at SKEMA Business School. Backed by the school and developed through the association HUMANI’SPHERE, which he co-founded, the project aims to train young people – particularly young women – in high-demand digital skills.
President and co-founder of HUMANI’SPHERE, Élisée Nlemba has been working for several years to improve access to education in vulnerable regions. Established in 2023, the association leads concrete actions across France and Africa, with more than 11 impactful projects to date: the distribution of school textbooks, environmental awareness campaigns, support for orphans, and guidance for young people in rural areas. “Garoua Digital Academy is more than just a training centre – it’s a tool for empowerment and social transformation. As a student at SKEMA, I see every day how quality education can change the course of a life,” says Élisée Nlemba.
