Young people with disabilities in Africa lack access to digital skills training and tech career pathways

Young people with disabilities in underserved African communities are systematically excluded from digital skills education and STEM opportunities, leaving them unable to compete for tech jobs or participate in the digital economy. Traditional educational institutions and tech training programs fail to provide accessible, disability-inclusive curricula and infrastructure. This creates a compounding disadvantage where disabled youth face both disability stigma and digital illiteracy, severely limiting their economic mobility.
