Tyler Cinnamon is a American programmer and entrepreneur. He started TechLit Africa with Nelly Cheboi in 2018 to disrupt poverty with used IT devices.

Founder & COO

Five plus years ago, I met Tyler and Nelly when they appeared at a volunteer event&nbsp;for the World Computer Exchange. I could tell from day one that they&nbsp;had a passion for reaching children with technology.Soon after that meeting I learned of their plans for TechLit Africa. As I became more&nbsp;involved in their work I began to understand that TechLit Africa’s mission was to&nbsp;not just support and train children in using technology but also provide examples of what&nbsp;was possible in their lives.Prior to my involvement with TechLit Africa I spent 16yrs as the Chicago Coordinator for the World&nbsp;Computer Exchange which shipped refurbished computer to overseas classrooms. Before that I taught&nbsp;high school in the US and worked a a tech/curriculum specialist. That experience is what I hope&nbsp;to bring as a Board member to TechLit Africa. I am committed to helping this great adventure&nbsp;in broadening the choices for kids in Africa.
