Accelerating Digital Transformation Across Africa.
ADTL Africa is a youth-led, not-for-profit organisation advancing digital skills, artificial intelligence adoption, and practical technology solutions to empower people, institutions, and communities across Africa.
Free for small and medium-sized businesses.
If you run an SME and we can help, you do not pay for it.
ADTL Africa is not-for-profit, so we do not charge SMEs for our services. That covers training for your team, a website, a database that replaces scattered spreadsheets, or an app that fits the way you already work.
Our Terms and Conditions apply. They explain who qualifies, what we can take on at any one time, and what we ask of you in return.
Who we are
Established in 2024, ADTL Africa works on one gap: technology is arriving faster than the skills and systems needed to use it well. We are a team of young people working to close it, for individuals, institutions and businesses.
Digital Inclusion
Expanding access to relevant digital knowledge and practical skills. That means teaching in plain language and not assuming a new laptop, a fast connection or a computing degree.
Practical Innovation
Applying technology to real-world challenges. A solution that gets used beats one that impresses, so we favour the simplest system that fixes the actual problem.
Social Impact
Using digital transformation to create meaningful opportunities for communities and institutions, and measuring our work by what changes for the people we serve.
Our services
Training and technology services shaped around what people and organisations actually need to do. Select any card to read the full detail.

View detailsWhy this work matters
Three gaps keep appearing between a technology and the people who could benefit from it. ADTL Africa exists to work on all three.
The skills gap
New tools, from AI assistants to cloud software, arrive faster than training does. People who could use them well end up learning alone, or not at all.
The access gap
Hands-on training is hard to find, and it often assumes a laptop, a fast connection or prior experience. Good teaching starts from where people actually are.
The adoption gap
Schools, associations and small businesses often know how they want to run, but lack systems to match. Software that was never set up properly, or never tested, ends up unused.
