Global Impact : Digital Equity Beyond Borders
We believe that digital inclusion knows no borders. Our mission extends across the globe, driven by strategic partnerships and a single ambition: to make digital technology accessible to everyone, everywhere.
A Global Vision for Inclusion
The Simplon Foundation supports international initiatives designed to democratize access to digital skills in regions facing significant opportunity gaps. In Sub-Saharan Africa, we work alongside Civil Society Organizations (CSOs) to deliver digital training tailored to local economic realities :
Benin : CSO leaders have been trained in digital workflows and Generative AI to better structure and execute high-impact strategic plans.
Cameroon : Non-profit stakeholders have been equipped with the capacity to strengthen initiatives at the intersection of the green and digital "Twin Transitions." In Colombia, we partner with EducaMás to open doors to careers in Data and AI for young professionals. Supported by the Internet Society Foundation, the Data Explorers program offers 100% free, professional, and accessible training designed to meet local market demands. For over a decade, EducaMás has guided students toward higher education with one priority: securing a degree and a sustainable career.
Every project is co-created with local stakeholders to ensure we meet the specific needs of the community. This contextualized approach ensures a sustainable, measurable impact that respects the reality on the ground.
Impact Across Borders
In 2024, more than 1,700 children worldwide were introduced to digital literacy through the Simplon network. In Dakar, young people trained in web development are now contributing to local, high-impact digital projects. These concrete experiences transform individual lives and strengthen more inclusive digital ecosystems. Through these actions, technology becomes a lever for empowerment, employment, and social justice.
"This training helped us realize the true potential of digital tools to amplify our mission. With the help of Simplon coaches, we built a comprehensive communication strategy. It is practical, scalable, and has fundamentally changed the way we operate."
