Eight Years. Thousands of Stories. One Community. Every journey begins somewhere. For some, it was their first tech training. For others, it was a workshop, a new friendship, a certificate, a mentorship opportunity, or that one experience that opened the door to something bigger. For eight years, YandyTech Community has been part of many such moments. And behind every programme, event and milestone are people whose stories deserve to be remembered. Were you part of the YandyTech journey? We want to hear from you! As we celebrate 8 years of YandyTech Community, we are putting together a community archive to preserve the faces, memories and experiences that have shaped who we are today. Have an old photograph from a YandyTech event? A certificate from your first training? A video, screenshot, memorable experience or story about how YandyTech impacted your journey? We would love for you to share it with us. Whether you joined us eight years ago or just eight days ago, you are part of this story. Because YandyTech's story isn't just about the programmes we've organised or the milestones we've achieved. It's about the people who made it all possible. Let's bring those memories together and tell our story through the people who lived it. Share your YandyTech story here: bit.ly/YTCCall4Stories Eight years of impact. Eight years of people.

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

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.

Every girl deserves the opportunity to learn, grow, discover her potential, and decide what her future looks like. Yet, for many girls, barriers such as child marriage and unequal access to opportunities continue to stand in the way. This International Day of the Girl Child, under the theme “End Child Marriage and Invest in Girls’ Rights”, we are reminded that empowering girls requires more than words. It requires action, access, and sustained investment in their potential. At YandyTech, we believe that when girls have access to digital skills, knowledge, mentorship, and opportunities to innovate, they are better equipped to shape their futures and contribute meaningfully to their communities. Our commitment to inclusive innovation means working towards a future where every girl has the opportunity to learn, lead, create, and thrive. #YandyTechCommunity #EndChildMarriage #Internationaldayofthegirlchild

Eight years ago, we dared to imagine a future where technology could unlock opportunities, empower young people, and transform communities. Today, that vision is a story of impact, resilience, and growth. What began as a simple belief has grown into eight years of learning, innovation, and community-driven change. From equipping young people with digital skills to creating pathways in employability, civic engagement, peacebuilding, and climate action, our journey has always been about one thing: turning possibilities into real opportunities for people and communities. As we celebrate 8 years of YandyTech Community, we are grateful for the lives we've touched, the communities we've grown with, and everyone who has helped shape our story. Eight years of ideas turned into action, challenges turned into opportunities, and communities empowered to thrive. And the exciting part? We're just getting started!
