We train locally
We deliver practical, job-ready open source education through vetted local instructors, at pricing that reflects African economic realities.
We Partner with Universities
We work with higher education institutions across Africa to embed open source technologies directly into official curricula, preparing the next generation before they even enter the workforce.
We Educate Communities for Free
No fees, no barriers. We provide free training in open source software and hardware repair to community members, turning ambition into skill and skill into opportunity.
We Grow the Movement
We launch and support local chapters across Africa, connecting graduates to global employers, mentors, and networks — so African talent doesn’t just participate in the digital economy, it leads it.

WHY OPEN SOURCE, aND WHY AFRICA
Open source is uniquely powerful for African economies. It removes licensing barriers. It rewards collaboration. It allows communities to build, adapt, and own their own technology rather than depending on solutions built elsewhere for someone else’s context.
Africa has no shortage of talent. What has been missing is accessible, relevant, locally grounded education. That is exactly what Open Source Africa exists to provide.
