About TechForAll Foundation
A UK registered charity built on a personal promise: that no young person should ever feel forced to risk their life to find a future.
A UK registered charity built on a personal promise: that no young person should ever feel forced to risk their life to find a future.
TechForAll Foundation was born from personal grief. Our founder lost two family members, Mbemba and Lamin, both just 20 years old, who made the perilous Mediterranean crossing in search of a future that should have been available at home.
That loss became a mission: to ensure no young person ever feels they have to risk their life to find opportunity. Digital skills, donated technology and mentoring pathways at home are our answer.

TechForAll Foundation is a UK registered charity advancing digital inclusion through skills, access and opportunity. We combine practical training, donated technology, mentoring and community partnerships to help people build digital confidence and access pathways into work.
Our approach and strategy
TechForAll Foundation learners, united by the belief that digital access should be for everyone.
To bridge the digital divide by giving technology a second life: redirecting donated equipment into classrooms and communities, delivering free digital skills training, and mentoring people into IT careers, from young people in The Gambia to migrants and refugees in the UK.
A world where access to technology is a right, not a privilege, and where no one is denied the chance to learn, work and thrive because of where they were born or the circumstances they face.
Free digital skills training, employability support, mentoring and access to donated technology. Everything we do helps people build confidence and create pathways into work.
Practical training in everyday digital tasks, online safety, email, forms, job searches and Microsoft tools.
Support with CVs, job applications, interview preparation and building confidence for work.
Guidance into IT careers, digital apprenticeships and future technology opportunities.
Founder Of TechForAll Foundation
Yaya Trawally spent 15 years working as an IT professional across various sectors in the UK. As a dual British-Gambian citizen, he watched from London as young people, including people he loved, risked everything on dangerous migration routes in search of a future that should have been available at home. TechForAll Foundation is his answer to that.
"No young person should have to risk their life to find a future. That is what TechForAll exists to change."
Since opening our first Digital Hub in Banjulinding, The Gambia, more than 40 learners have gained practical digital skills at zero cost. 20+ local schools, hospitals, small entrepreneurs and organisations are active partners. In the UK, we support migrants and refugees alongside 10+ supporters who fund our international programmes. Two more hubs are already in development.
We are proud to work alongside companies, charities and institutions that share our commitment to digital inclusion and community impact.
Support digital inclusion in the UK, The Gambia and future communities through partnership, funding, mentoring or donated technology.
