WaloyoNPC

Waloyo equips underprivileged African youth (6 – 18 years old) with tangible, critical, future workplace skills in an efficient and impactful manner.

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 program 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.
