Joshua Peters Donates 200 Laptops to Empower Nigerian Youth
At a Youth Empowerment Summit organized by the Society for Performing Arts in Nigeria (SPAN) in Ikoyi, Lagos, 17-year-old Joshua Peters, founder of GiveBack Backpacks, distributed 200 HP laptops to young Nigerians, including girls displaced from Chibok. This donation, valued at approximately $50,000, aims to bridge the technology gap in education for students lacking access to computers.
Peters emphasized that talent is universal, but access to resources is not, stating, “A young person’s ability should never be measured by the opportunities they happened to be born into.” The initiative focuses on providing digital skills and educational materials to empower students and help them solve community problems. Peters highlighted the importance of supporting young women whose education has been disrupted, asserting the commitment to invest in their future opportunities.
The laptops were presented with backpacks containing educational materials and tech aids, reinforcing the organization's mission to enhance learning access.
