School Clubs

Digital Skills For Africa is an online-learning platform carefully curated for Africans, by Africans. The platform was developed with years of extensive research on Africa’s Digital Divide, and it aims to stand in the gap for all Africans, catering to different demographics, paying special attention to varying needs.

At Digital Skills for Africa, our mission is to empower individuals across the African continent with the transformative capabilities of digital skills. We work with international development partners and leading education institutions to democratize access to digital resources and skills, close the digital divide, and ensure a digital native Africa. We particularly specialise in digital media and content creation and marketing.
