Impact Stories

"I had never used a computer before. I was too scared to even touch it. After the course, I sent my first email, to my daughter back home. I cried. It felt like I had crossed a wall."

"My mentor helped me write a CV for the first time. He showed me how to apply for jobs online. Within three months I had my first interview, and my first job offer in IT support."

"Nobody told me that tech was for girls too. When I came to TechForAll, I realised I could actually do this. I've applied for a software development apprenticeship and I got through to the final round."

"Before TechForAll came, I had never had access to a computer in my life. Now I can use Microsoft Office, I understand how the internet works, and I have started my own small business from what I've learned."

"My family thought I should focus on other things. But when they saw me at the graduation ceremony and heard how I had learned to build a website, my father said he was proud. That meant everything."

"Every year, young men from my neighbourhood try to cross to Europe. I almost did. TechForAll gave me a reason to stay, real skills, a laptop, and a path forward that didn't involve risking my life."
