Ming Coding is looking to add more centres throughout South Africa.

, a community-based digital skills initiative, is providing sought-after digital skills to young people to help them enter the job market without tertiary qualification.

“Those who manage to get through, often lack the digital skills required to be successful in their studies,” he says.“For example, the standards for learners who want to earn a BSc in applied mathematics or in IT are very high. Learning digital skills from YouTube and being able to find the right channels can provide an alternative.”

Ming Coding then sought support from the Southern African Association of Youth Clubs in Daveyton, Etwatwa. With the help of SAAYC centre manager Nomfundo Thusini, the organisation provided Ming Coding with essential resources, including internet connection and laptops. The programme also facilitates online classes to learners in Cape Town, Durban, and Soweto, with plans to establish physical centres in these regions.However, sourcing funding remains a challenge. Ming Coding currently has no sponsors, and learners pay a one-time registration fee of R100.
