About Us

HackLab Foundation

We are a non-profit organization, established since September 2015 in Ghana, focused on preparing the youth for future jobs, by helping them develop their skills, connecting them to industry and breeding entrepreneurs who create jobs for others. We do this by decentralizing and democratizing Access to technology education and tools, hence our tagline, Advancing Technology in Africa.

Our initiatives have impacted over 2000 youth since our inception including children between the ages of 7-13 years who participate in our Hacklab Junior Makers Summer Camp. We believe that creating an equal platform for everyone, irrespective of race, gender, social class, and physical limitations will allow for a fair chance to compete for the same opportunity. This has been the core of our initiatives.
