Empowering the future

Our goal is to develop a replicable and sustainable model where
marginalized and least fortunate young people are empowered to become
independent and take charge of their own lives.

Young people in Cameroon cannot be left behind as the world explores avenues in leading technologies such as transformation, digitization, automation, data science and artificial intelligence. As such we are committed to providing accessible workshops, talks and programs to improve these skills for young people.

Inspiring Testimonials from our Students

I recently attended a coding boot camp by Delc Foundation, and it was a game-changer for me. Thanks to the program, I was able to greatly enhance my programming skills, become proficient in coding, work within a team, and contribute to open-source projects.

I gained a deeper understanding of more complex coding topics and was able to read and comprehend code written by senior developers. Overall, the Delc Foundation coding boot camp was an excellent experience, and I would highly recommend it to anyone seeking to improve their Tech skills.

Entering the DELC foundation boot camp was a great opportunity for me. I learned a lot of great things during the boot camp especially when it comes to IT. Today I can call myself a developer. This is because I was taught from scratch how to code. We started from scratch with basic programming languages such as HTML, CSS, BOOTSTRAP, and Javascript. And we further continued with other languages.

But apart from the fact that we were taught, I also liked the way we were treated and am happy with the type of serious and great people I met at the Bootcamp. So I want to thank you Daïsy and Churchill for granting me this opportunity. If you are looking for some awesome, knowledgeable people to work with, these are the guys I highly recommend.
