We hire and support full-time local instructors. They understand the language, the culture, and the classroom.
Technology evolves fast and so do we. Our teachers meet regularly to share ideas, sharpen skills, and ensure every lesson reflects the latest tools and real-world relevance.
Our play-based curriculum keeps students engaged through hands-on, creative projects. From games to design, kids learn real digital skills by doing and having fun.
Every week, TechLit classes are fully integrated into the schoolday with a dedicated classroom and teacher.
We're not just inspiring kids. We’re equipping them with real skills, in real time, for real opportunities.
From village classrooms to the world stage. See why CNN named us Hero of the Year.
We’ll bring the computers, curriculum, and trained teachers. You bring your local knowledge and school connections.
Together, we’ll give students the skills to succeed in the global digital economy.
The TechLit program has been a game-changer for our primary school students. In such a short time, I’ve seen incredible growth in their computer skills, giving them confidence and competence in using technology.

Our partnership with TechLit Africa has been one of the most impactful advancements for our nonprofit in recent years. Despite initial concerns about dedicating space and resources to the program, the benefits quickly became evident as student engagement soared-not just for those in TechLit classes but across the entire school. The excitement drew attention from education officials and neighboring schools, leading to the rapid expansion of TechLit programs in three additional schools within six months. The progress has been remarkable, with administrators, parents, and the broader community recognizing its value and committing to sustaining and growing the initiative.
