Meet the team, the change-makers committed to the highest standard of transformation, impact, and development in Africa.
By 2050, it is projected that Africa will be home to 850 million youth, representing the world’s largest potential workforce and a global demographic dividend. However, a profound “digital chasm” threatens this future: while the digital economy already contributes $220 billion (7.7%) to Africa’s GDP, a staggering 90% of African youth leave school without even basic digital literacy. This creates a “talent paradox” where the global economy is desperate for tech talent, yet less than 5% of young Africans possess advanced skills like coding, cybersecurity, or data science. We are intervening because the current 80% mobile network coverage is meaningless if youth cannot afford the data—which remains 14 times more expensive than in Europe—or the devices required to participate in the borderless digital economy.
Africa is the world's youngest continent. With a median age of 19.7, the potential for a digital demographic dividend is immense, but requires targeted infrastructure and skills inclusion.
High-quality digital skills programs correlate directly with increased GDP per capita across emerging African tech hubs.
NGOs aim to raise female participation from 18% to 40% by 2030.
The barriers to inclusion are deeply structural and disproportionately affect the most vulnerable. Over 600 million Africans still lack access to electricity, making digital life physically impossible for 43% of the population, while a persistent gender divide leaves women 45% less likely to be connected to the internet than men. This exclusion isn’t just a social issue; it is an economic crisis, as keeping women offline results in an estimated $1 trillion loss to global GDP. Currently, over 960 million people live within reach of a mobile broadband signal but remain part of the “usage gap” because they lack the mentorship and skills to navigate it. As an NGO, we bridge this gap between private sector limitations and public capacity by providing the “missing middle” of support through energy-integrated solutions and gender-intentional programming that fits the lived realities of African youth.
Our mission is to transform this latent potential into economic power through high-impact digital skill acquisition programs, mentorship, and institutional partnerships across the continent. We don’t just advocate for change; we fund it by sponsoring tech scholarships and intensive bootcamps that provide world-class training in high-demand remote skills, from Python to Cloud Computing. By partnering with pan-African tech hubs and academic institutions, we provide the catalytic funding and de-risking necessary to move youth from the informal economy into high-value global roles. We are building the digital roads that allow African talent to reach the world, ensuring that the continent’s “youth bulge” becomes a global engine of innovation rather than a demographic liability.
Africa’s youth shouldn’t be sidelined by a “usage gap” they didn’t create. By partnering with local tech hubs and sponsoring high-impact scholarships, we are turning the demographic bulge into a global digital engine. Join us in funding the “missing middle” and de-risking the future for millions of young innovators.
