/ Why Beyond Boundaries exists

Africa is the youngest continent on earth. YABATECH has its share of the talent. The ideas. The hustle. The energy. What many students have never had is a visible road from that talent into tech. Some end up in Yahoo because it’s the only success they can see. Beyond Boundaries is that road.

We are here to show 1,500 students what else is possible: real stories, tangible skills, and legitimate careers in technology.
