In today’s fast-changing world, access to digital skills is no longer optional — it’s essential. Yet, millions of young people in rural and underserved communities across Africa are left behind, unable to compete in a workforce that increasingly values technology and innovation. The result is high unemployment, wasted potential, and cycles of poverty that persist across generations.
At FracomTech Foundation, we are rewriting this story through our Digital Skills and Vocational Training Programs. These initiatives equip young people — especially girls and women — with the tools they need to thrive in the digital economy. From coding and graphic design to social media marketing, video editing, and digital entrepreneurship, our training goes beyond the classroom to unlock real economic opportunities.
The Impact So Far
- 2,300+ youth and women trained in digital, agritech, and vocational skills
- Over 70% of graduates secured jobs, freelance gigs, or launched businesses within 6 months
- Rural girls trained in ICT now earning income while pursuing education
- A growing network of empowered alumni serving as mentors to others
Why It Matters
Every skill learned is more than knowledge gained — it’s a door opened. Digital training doesn’t just prepare young people for jobs; it gives them the confidence to create their own opportunities. Empowering one youth means empowering an entire family, and empowering hundreds creates ripple effects that strengthen entire communities.
How You Can Support
Your partnership makes it possible to expand our training labs, provide laptops, internet access, and mentorship support for rural youth who otherwise would never get the chance. Together, we can bridge the digital divide and transform unemployed graduates into innovators, freelancers, and business leaders.
