What if you could talk and see people from all over the world, no matter how far they are? This was Yeye's experience, from #Nigeria to the world 🌍 Since she was little, Yeye always wanted to be an #engineer, but what motivates her is to help provide #energy everywhere it’s needed💡 To do so, she attended the Schneider Electrician #training and as the only woman in her class, she is determined to show everybody what she is capable of. Also, Yeye believes that many girls will come after her, it’s only a matter of time. At Schneider Electric Foundation, we share a common inspiration: to give #youth the means to build solutions for a better life, contribute to a fairer, lower-carbon society, and transform the world, whatever their situation is.
