Our Target Groups

We target women and girls, small business owners, social impact workers, and students and graduates, empowering them with digital tools and skills to drive positive change in Malawi.

Students and Graduands

The future of education, work and business is technology. Young people need to have access to and gain the skills in technology to be competitive in education, work, and business. We are implementing programs to help students and fresh graduands use technology to increase their chances in life.

Small Business Owners

The business environment in Malawi is lagging behind in the area of technology adoption. We are helping small business owners leverage technology to increase their business efficiency and craft new frontiers of opportunity.

Girls and Women

Statistics show that girls and women are left behind when it comes to access and capacity to use technology in Malawi. We are geared to removing the barriers for girls and women, and leveling the playing ground for them.

Social Impact Workers

Social impact workers such as community organizations and public servants must utilize technology to speed up their impact. We are working to help these superheroes get the technology tools and capacity they need to do their work well and reach more people fast.

Our Approach

These guide our mission to drive Malawi toward a tech-enabled and digital future.

Research

We are conducting research to learn the levels of technology adoption, find gaps, and develop programs to bridge the digital divide

Access

We are solving the challenge of technology access by distributing, subsidizing, or renting out tech devices and services

Capacity
