We believe every African deserves a fair shot at the digital economy.
Tech Literacy Africa was founded in Nairobi in 2021 to address a stark gap: millions of capable young people lack the basic ICT and cyber-security skills now expected of any workforce. We design short, practical, mentor-led cohorts — taught in plain language, in places people already live and study.
Mission
Make ICT and cyber-security education accessible to every African youth, regardless of background or postcode.
Vision
An African digital economy where local talent builds, secures, and owns the technology shaping our future.
Values
Practical learning. Open access. Respect for context. Community first.
How we work
We partner with schools, churches, polytechnics, and local NGOs to host 8–12 week cohorts. Every learner gets a mentor, a portfolio project, and a job-search clinic. Graduates join an alumni network that keeps growing.
