Follow the journey of Terna and Aisha, two inspiring students whose lives have been profoundly impacted as they received hands-on training in renewable energy solutions. Discover how they plan to leverage their acquired skills to drive change and innovation in their communities. Women remain significantly underrepresented in Africa's energy sector. Their stories showcase the power of education, resilience, and ambition in bridging gender gaps and powering a brighter, sustainable future for Africa.

To bridge the gender gap and expand electricity access, the Nigeria Electrification Project is equipping female students with hands-on training in solar photovoltaic installation and renewable energy solutions. It has also established 173 mini-grids and facilitated the sale of over 1 million Solar Home Systems, bringing electricity to 7.8 million Nigerians. The World Bank Group provided $350 million of the total financing of $550 million.
