About THE FOUNDATION
About us
We are a non-profit company with a single objective of exposing as many poor and previously-disadvantaged youth to coding. We believe that the future and hope of South Africa playing a meaningful role in the Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR) lies in the ICT skills available for school learners.
The
Coding Youth Foundation introduces basic
computer literacy and coding skills to the previously disenfranchised youth of
the Free State in South Africa. Since January 2022, we have reached and developed 88 high
school learners with either Microsoft 365 or HTML & CSS coding skills.
The
persistent and visionary leadership of our founders and executive committee
including the passion and drive of our learners, The Coding Youth Foundation
has grown to unexpected heights since its inception.
