About Us
We are on a mission to close the digital gap in Africa and build an inclusive future through digital literacy.
Why We Exist
In Sub-Saharan Africa, over 840 million people remain offline, and less than 30% have reliable internet access. Even among those who are connected, digital literacy levels are very low. According to UNESCO, only 1 in 100 young Africans have the basic ICT skills needed for today’s job market.
In rural areas, the situation is even worse. Millions of people are left behind—not because they lack potential, but because they don’t have access to the training and tools they need.
We believe this is not just a gap—it’s a crisis.
This digital divide is not just about access to technology. It’s about equal opportunity, fairness, and Africa’s future. While other parts of the world move forward with new technologies, many African youths are being excluded—not by choice, but by lack of resources.
Who We Serve
- Students seeking to enhance their digital literacy and improve career prospects
- Job seekers aiming to acquire marketable tech skills for better employment opportunities
- Professionals wanting to upskill or reskill to stay competitive in the digital economy
- Rural and underserved communities with limited access to traditional education and technology
- Women and youth striving for empowerment and economic independence through digital literacy skills
Millions of Africans are locked out of the digital world—not by choice, but by lack of access.
Millions of young Africans lack the essential digital literacy skills needed to compete and create opportunities within and without Africa.
Afritech Academy is changing this by providing free, online, digital literacy courses accessible to anyone, anywhere in Africa. No fees, no limits—just opportunity.

Where We Are Headed
Despite the significant impact we have created already, we still strongly believe that our journey is just beginning. We are committed to expanding our impact across Africa with a clear, focused vision
To become Africa’s leading platform for free digital literacy skills training. Our goal is to reach 50 million Africans by 2030—regardless of location or financial means—with accessible, digital literacy education.
We are expanding our course offerings to include more advanced, industry-relevant digital literacy skills that will align perfectly with job seekers, entrepreneurs, and career focused individuals.
We are also advocating for better internet access by working with telecom providers and policymakers to make digital learning possible for all. In the future, we aim to establish community-based learning hubs to bridge the gap where connectivity is low.
Our long-term vision is a digtially literate and connected Africa, where every person—no matter their background—can access the digital tools, skills, and knowledge needed to shape their future, find meaningful work, and contribute to a stronger, more inclusive digital continent.
