Our Founding Story

Born from a radical idea.

Born from a small collective of UI/UX designers in 2022, The Tech Tribe was founded on the radical idea that technical excellence should be decoupled from privilege.

What started as a single mentorship circle has evolved into a nationwide charitable foundation, bridging the gap between untapped potential and high-growth tech careers, completely free.

The Foundation is Born

What began as one UX designer mentoring 10 designers grew into SE Mentorship, then the UX Boss community. Today, it has evolved into the Tech Tribe Charitable Foundation, focused on making tech education accessible to everyone. The foundation is officially registered with the CAC (Reg. No. 7337940).

Building bridges where
there were once walls.

We believe that talent is distributed equally, but opportunity is not. The Tech Tribe exists to correct that imbalance, one programme at a time.
