About my Life Mission
My life’s mission is to close the opportunity gap with regards to access to computing education. The majority of South African children do not have the opportunity to learn computer science. My goal is to expose them
to computer science, helping to inspire Africa’s future generation of technology entrepreneurs and innovators.
I Am Driven By
As an orphan my grandfather raised my siblings and I from his pension; he always told me that education was my ticket out of poverty. He always said; “if you persevere at school, one day you will not even remember
that you are an orphan”. I am driven by my goal to make him proud and show the world that an orphan raised by a pensioner and a garderner could rise and study at some of the best universities in the world. I am a
proud UCT, Stanford and Columbia University student.

Testimonial
Makhosonke Nkosi
Grade 10 | Khayalami Secondary SchoolThank you for the opportunity to learn to code. Without Africa Teen Geeks I would never have had an opportunity to learn how to code. I now believe that with technology, I can change the world.
Carol Smith
ParentMy daughter had been struggling at school. Africa Teen Geeks introduced her to computer science and she has been doing great. She was selected to attend Festival of Code which boosted her self-confidence and her outlook on life.
