What We Do

Awareness and Advocacy

We challenge the myths that hold people back. Through storytelling, community events, and media, we create new narratives about disability, technology, and work.

Inclusive Tech Training

We design and deliver accessible learning experiences for persons with hearing, visual, or mobility impairments—training them in digital skills, data, design, coding, and more.

Skill Validation

Graduates earn recognized certifications or complete secure, project-based assessments that prove their abilities to employers and clients worldwide.

Employment and Entrepreneurship

We connect trained professionals to jobs through our online marketplace and support those who wish to launch their own ventures with mentoring, business tools, and startup incubation.

Employer Readiness

We prepare organizations to become truly inclusive workplaces, providing templates, onboarding checklists, and continuous support for integrating talent with disabilities.

Our Story

My first close encounter with persons with disabilities was in 2003, back in high school. They were visually impaired students who lived just like everyone else. We studied together, shared dormitories, and laughed over the same little things. The only difference was their braille library. I did not think much of it then, but that experience planted something quiet in me.

Years later in 2024, while working in an inclusive tech company, I found myself leading a tech team that included people with mobility, visual, hearing, and speech impairments. I was amazed by their skill, commitment, and brilliance. It was not sympathy I felt, it was respect. But as I got to know them better, that respect turned into frustration. Frustration that such capable minds had been kept on the sidelines.

These were engineers, scientists, and problem solvers. Yet for most of my life, I had been made to believe that persons with disabilities were best suited for nontechnical or support roles. Seeing their reality shattered that illusion completely. This is the story across Africa where close to 100 million people live with a certain kind of disability. That was the moment Kwazo was born. It came from the conviction that talent should never be limited by disability. We exist to train, mentor, and equip persons with disabilities to work and thrive in technology, not as an act of charity, but as a matter of equity and truth.

Why It Matters

We specialize in transforming visions into reality. Explore our portfolio of innovative programs and initiatives crafted with precision to empower persons with disabilities.

When persons with disabilities are given a fair chance, poverty is reduced (SDG 1), access to quality education improves (SDG 4), and opportunities for gender equality are strengthened (SDG 5). Employers gain dedicated, innovative team members, advancing decent work and economic growth (SDG 8). Communities become more inclusive and equitable, promoting reduced inequalities (SDG 10). Through collaboration and shared responsibility, partnerships for the goals (SDG 17) drive lasting impact. Kwazo's work contributes directly to these United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.

Our Vision

A future where ability defines opportunity, not disability. A world where every person—regardless of physical condition—can learn, work, and thrive in technology and beyond.
