Who We Are

Built to Bridge
the Digital Divide

TEKH Institute (TEKHSMART ZAMBIA, Reg. No. NGO/101/0833/18) is a non-governmental organisation headquartered in Lusaka, Zambia, with active programs in The Gambia, West Africa.

Since our founding, we have worked to ensure that geography and income are never barriers to digital education. From refurbishing donated computers to running AI workshops, every initiative is designed to give young Africans a real, lasting foothold in the digital economy.
