Waloyo NPC

Waloyo equips underprivileged African youth (6 – 18 years old) with tangible, critical, future workplace skills in an efficient and impactful manner, working with visionary and ethical funders and best-in-class partners. With Africa's youth population set to become one-fifth of the total workforce and one-third of the total youth workforce in the world by 2030, there is an urgent need to support digital skills education. Waloyo's Coding 4 Youth programme helps the youth to learn coding (computer programming), by collaborating with nonprofits across Africa. We chose coding because: - It builds future skills that will help the youth to actively participate in the global digital economy. - They learn critical thinking and problem solving, skills they can immediately apply in their own lives. - Through the training they learn to collaborate, communicate and lead – skills that are helpful at any age but certainly key to building their future career - They learn creativity and to express themselves visually Approved non-profits will receive a fully funded computer coding training program that includes: - Computer equipment (where necessary) - Facilitator training - Training curriculum per grade (incl. license fee where applicable) - Contribution to internet connection - Facility and Admin fee to participating organisation - Measurement and evaluation What makes Waloyo unique: - Future-focused: relevant practical skills for participants and future workforce for funders and partners - Holistic program that covers providing computer equipment, training material and paid facilitators - fully funded - Transparent and robust selection and monitoring processes to ensure measurable outcomes - Passionate founders with diverse and extensive experience. - Best in-class partners mean we don’t reinvent the wheel and move faster - Aligned to SDGs and ESG targets Connect with us if you would like to become involved.
