Delta Air Lines and Junior Achievement Africa collaborated to host the Delta Air Lines Girls LEAD! Camp in Accra, Ghana. The week-long event brought together nearly 60 young African girls, aimed at developing their professional and personal skills.

As part of the initiative, Delta awarded scholarships to 12 girls for their innovative ideas showcased at the National Company of the Year competition in Mauritius. Delta's funding also facilitated participation for all 52 girls at the camp.

Throughout the week, participants engaged in activities to build their networks, analyze personal goals, and develop community-oriented impact projects. The camp included sessions and workshops on personal branding, STEM career paths, and emotional intelligence.

Panels at the event featured Maya Dukes, Managing Director of Delta’s Creative Team, and Ronke Adebiyi, Director of Government Affairs. They, among other female leaders, shared insights into their career progressions and skills development.

"The camp was an unforgettable experience; I saw firsthand how Delta is driving change by creating opportunities for young women to dream bigger and keep climbing," Dukes stated. "The curiosity of these girls was inspiring and I’m grateful to have played a small part in their story."

Ronke Adebiyi also expressed her satisfaction: "This experience was extremely rewarding for me," Adebiyi said. "As a Nigerian woman with a STEM background, it was a full-circle experience to edify these young girls. It was beautiful to watch their minds unlock as the panel shared career paths they could pursue in aviation, and the idea that their interests could evolve into multiple careers over time."

Delta and Junior Achievement Africa assert the importance of education as a means of achieving equity and emphasize the impact of exposing young people to diverse career opportunities.
