WeAreBits
Leveraging digital opportunities for meaningful employment and business creation
Our solution is designed based on the challenges, needs and opportunities of undeserved, unemployed youth in Africa and beyond . With a growing unemployment rate and a growing youth population Africa is home to a plethora of socioeconomic and structural challenges, which present an opportunity for youth capacity building programs that focus on employment as a primary outcome.
Over the past two decades the Bits Schools have delivered digital design courses to over 9,000 youth linking more than 80% of them to income generating opportunities.
A major challenge is the sustainability and scale of the bits schools that we are now committed to solving.
The benefits of this project will also positively affect youth employment as well as companies looking to expand their operations in Africa & beyond, as it will provide them with skilled, qualified, young talent, which will in turn support their expansion and growth plans. This will lead to the creation of more jobs through sustaining the growth momentum of the ICT sector in Africa and beyond.
