A foundation born of a cultural dream, driven by a conviction: technology can transform every life, every community, every generation.

It all started with a deep desire: to create something authentically African. A name, a logo, an identity rooted in Yemba culture—to remind us that innovation doesn’t just come from big cities, but also from villages in Menoua.
The Nkwangtech Foundation was born out of this dream: to bridge the digital divide in underserved communities in Cameroon, starting with the West Region, and to propel a new generation of innovators, entrepreneurs, and tech leaders.
We believe that every young person, every woman, every child deserves access to the technological tools that are transforming the world. It is this conviction that guides everything we do.
Pamela Azanfouet founded Nkwangtech with a handful of passionate individuals. The name, the logo, the identity — everything is designed to honor Yemba culture and inspire Cameroonian youth.
Launch of the first holiday workshops for primary and secondary school students: coding, robotics and computational thinking. More than 200 young people trained in the first edition.
Launch of the Tech Safari program, which takes trainers directly to rural villages in Menoua. The first 3 villages have been reached, an innovative model for reaching the most isolated communities.
Creation of the WomenUP program (40 women trained per year) and the Girls in STEM holiday program. The foundation extends its activities to 5 villages and reaches over 1,500 young people.
The foundation has reached the milestone of 3,000 young people reached. Partnerships have been signed with Juniper Networks, GIZ, AnitaB.org, and TechWomen. The first WomenUP event has been launched in a rural area.
The two stars that guide every program, every workshop, every initiative of the foundation.
