8 years of impact, resilience, and empoweringyoung people! From humble beginnings to creating lasting change, and in truth, we’re just getting started! #YandyTechAt8 #YandyTechCommunity

Every community has a story. Ours has thousands. It started with a door. Over eight years, people have walked through it. Some came curious. Some came unsure. Some came with nothing but an idea and the courage to share it. They joined our programmes. They stayed to volunteer. They stood in front of rooms and facilitated sessions. They built solutions, showed up for their communities, and walked out with careers they once only imagined. Somewhere along the way, their stories became ours. So now, we’re handing them the mic. Introducing HUMANS OF YANDYTECH, a series celebrating the people behind eight years of learning, innovation and community impact. One face, one journey, one story at a time. And if YandyTech is part of your story, tell us in the comments. We’d love to hear it. #HumansOfYandyTech #YandyTechAt8 – at Chanchaga, Nigeria

The YandyTech team recently engaged with the Ministry of Women Affairs to strengthen connections and explore areas of alignment between our work and the Ministry’s priorities, particularly in gender inclusion and social protection. As an organisation committed to youth development, technology, innovation, and inclusive community development, YandyTech recognises the importance of working alongside relevant institutions to advance shared goals and create opportunities for meaningful impact. We believe that stronger connections between organisations and institutions can help drive sustainable change and build more inclusive communities. We look forward to continued engagement and opportunities to contribute to initiatives that empower individuals and communities. #Yandytech #ministryofwomenaffairs #innovation #communityimpact

YandyTech at #BUILD2026! YandyTech Community represented by our CTO, Alamin Musa Magaga, is presenting a paper at Africa's Shared Compute and AI Infrastructure Conference, hosted by the Nigeria AI Collective in Abuja. "Where Should Africa Build AI Compute? An Evidence-First Framework for Shared Infrastructure Investment" The big idea: Africa shouldn't pick a single winner for AI compute. Every country needs a different next step, from investigating sites, to building power and connectivity, to simply collecting better data. In fact, 23 of 54 African countries don't yet have enough public data to be compared. #BUILD2026 #NigeriaAICollective #AIinAfrica #AIInfrastructure #YandyTech

Building Partnerships. Bridging the Digital Skills Gap. Creating Opportunities. At YandyTech Community, we believe that equipping people with relevant skills and knowledge is essential to unlocking opportunities and preparing them for the future. This is why we are excited to announce our partnership with The Pathway Initiative for Guidance and Career Awareness! Through this collaboration, both organisations will work together to deliver digital skills training, information technology programs, and other capacity-building initiatives designed to equip individuals with practical knowledge, relevant competencies, and the confidence to navigate an increasingly digital world. From strengthening digital literacy and expanding access to information technology education to supporting continuous learning and skills development, this partnership seeks to create more opportunities for individuals to learn, grow, and apply their knowledge in meaningful ways. We recognize that building a digitally empowered society requires collective effort. By bringing our expertise, resources, and shared commitment together, we aim to contribute to closing the digital skills gap while empowering more people to participate meaningfully in the digital economy. This partnership represents another step toward our shared vision of a future where access to digital knowledge and capacity-building opportunities enables individuals and communities to thrive. #YandyTechAt8 #TPIGCA #KadunaYouthDigitalAndAISkills
