About Us

Technology, Business Development, and Empowerment Center

The Amaete Engineering Garage is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization that is tackling two major tech problems: the shortage of technical applications and tech talent, and a lack of racial diversity in the tech community.

Objectives:

-Vision

Our vision is to empower under-served Pan-Africans with quality education in software development, UI/UX, AI, graphics design, cyber security, animation, light manufacturing, and agriculture.
- Mission​

Our mission is to foster equity in tech education, bridging the digital divide for the Pan-African community. We provide resources, enhance skills, and create opportunities, fostering economic empowerment, and promoting innovation, thus nurturing the next generation of Pan-African tech giants.

Beyond Borders – Beyond Technology – Beyond Ourselves.

ESG, Impact Plan and United Nations
Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)
Amaete Engineering Garage strongly aligns with the principles of Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) as well as the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Our philosophy is underpinned by a robust Impact Plan that promotes sustainable and responsible practices in technology and engineering.
We strive to enact positive change by creating innovative solutions that address societal needs while minimizing environmental footprints. The cornerstone of our approach is education; we aim to empower our students with knowledge and skills that not only enhance their personal development but also contribute towards a more sustainable world. Through our programs, students have the unique opportunity to learn, create, and implement tech solutions that can transform communities and improve living conditions globally.

Impact

We empower talented individuals, especially women, who are capable of great things but who are held back by a lack of resources despite having innate abilities and a desire to use them to make a difference in the world with the crucial growth mindset and practical skills needed for entrepreneurship and global tech jobs. Our programs include the following:
Our training, boot camps, and conference partners are all meant to help people prepare for jobs faster in technology and entrepreneurship.

Because of your donations, we can keep working to solve these tech problems and make sure that Pan-Africans, no matter where they come from, have the same educational opportunities.

United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs))

Amaete Engineering Garage is fully committed to integrating the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) into our programs and operations. Here’s how we plan to tackle specific SDGs:

SDG 1 (No Poverty) and SDG 2 (Zero Hunger): Through our engineering projects, we aim to introduce advanced technology solutions that address poverty and hunger. For example, automated farming technology and irrigation systems can improve productivity, providing sustainable income and food security for impoverished communities.

SDG 4 (Quality Education): We are committed to delivering quality technical and engineering education. Our curriculum integrates advanced training programs to equip students with skills that are relevant and in demand, promoting lifelong learning opportunities.

SDG 5 (Gender Equality): We strive to foster a gender-balanced environment. Our programs are designed to be inclusive, and we’re encouraging more female students to enroll and provide them with equal opportunities.

SDG 7 (Affordable and Clean Energy) and SDG 13 (Climate Action): Our programs promote developing and implementing green technologies, such as renewable energy systems. We emphasize projects that contribute to reducing carbon footprints and mitigating the impacts of climate change.

SDG 8 (Decent Work and Economic Growth): We align our programs with current market demands, preparing our students for meaningful employment opportunities, fostering innovation, and driving sustainable economic growth.

SDG 11 (Sustainable Cities and Communities) and SDG 12 (Responsible Consumption and Production): We encourage projects that promote sustainable urban development, such as waste management systems and smart city solutions. Additionally, we educate our students on the principles of circular economy and responsible consumption.

SDG 15 (Life on Land): We integrate conservation-focused projects into our curriculum. Through projects like developing tech for reforestation efforts or wildlife monitoring, we aim to play our part in protecting life on land.

Through these efforts, Amaete Engineering Garage is working towards the larger goal of ensuring a sustainable and equitable world for all. We understand that the journey is long, but with our committed staff and ambitious students, we believe we can make a substantial impact.

Organizations and corporations sponsor the Amaete Engineering Garage to achieve diversity, equity, inclusion, and retention missions. Our sponsorship programs provide value to our global public followers and our captive, dues-paying members. Amaete Engineering Garage works to increase the number of Pan-African people who work in tech by helping our members connect, grow, and find jobs. Through our conference partner, Silicon Africa, we give our sponsors real value by giving them opportunities to speak, host career fairs, and interact with people in person and online. Let us show you how. For more information, please email info@amaete.org.
