We Amplify Africa
About Us

We Amplify Africa works at the intersection of education, access and practical application. We help people understand emerging technologies, and help organisations engage the communities and teams who can use them.

Built around practical adoption

Founded by Esther Kendi, Amplify brings technology education into universities, workplaces and community spaces. Our work connects people with the knowledge, tools and support they need to participate in the digital economy.

We work with technology companies, educators and organisations to design programmes around real audiences and real needs. Each engagement begins with a question: what should people understand or be able to do after taking part?
