Orlyana Tantchou,

My name is Orlyana Tantchou, and I am passionate about expanding opportunities for girls in STEM. I lead initiatives like the MyGirls-Code program, which empowers young girls in Sub-Saharan Africa to develop critical coding skills from an early age. Through this program, I aim to introduce girls to STEM career paths and opportunities, helping them become the next generation of innovators in technology.

My name is Orlyola Tantchou and I am passionate about climate education. I have a keen interest in global warming, which has served as a central theme in many of my written works. I believe that it’s imperative that we all come together in the fight for climate change. Through my book, The Wildlife Warriors: Saving Their Habitats, I call on the future of our generation, the youth, to use their voice. I hope to ignite a sense of environmental responsibility in my young readers, inspiring them to become wildlife warriors.

Orlybella Tantchou

Co-Founder & Secretary

My name is Orlybella Tantchou and I am passionate about children’s rights to education. At the height of the Russia-Ukraine War, I released a song on Youtube in support of the children in Ukraine and their right to go to school instead of hiding to save their lives. I’ve also collected books to send to children in Sub-Saharan Africa so that they can enrich their minds through the power of reading. I want to be a voice for young people who may not have one and make them feel seen, heard, and valued.
