ICT training

Closing the tech-gap

for sustainable development
and climate action

ICT Training becomes a game changer in a world plagued by challenges like climate change and climate justice.

70% of the population in Malawi are young people bursting with potential, but only 12.9% of the youth have the essential computer literacy skills. That leaves a staggering 87.1% gap across the country, holding back countless opportunities. 

We provide Malawian youth with access to ICT courses, free WiFi, and computers, enabling them to harness the power of technology for positive change including sustainable development and climate action. After finishing the course, the students receive a certificate, which is very useful when applying for jobs.

In short, we aim to become
the first certificated ICT education in Nkhata Bay District
