Afrolabs
Afrolabs is a tech lab for positive impact organisations, in Africa.
Founded in Cape Town in 2004, we have gone full remote since 2020.
“love creating” is our credo.
It’s our mission to figure out how we can continue to love creating the sorts of things we love creating. More often, with more sparkles, with more joy, with more colleagues, with more cake.
We continue growing and evolving our anarcho-syndicalistic community of practice, a group of mostly developers working on our portfolio of aligned positive impact initiatives.
Our commercial work on for-profit initiatives at afrolabs runs alongside our work non-profit initiatives at coderlevelup.org, and those two get closer and closer together with time.
In the last 20 years our work has spanned many industries and technologies, but a lot of our work has focused on logistics and media. Our current main projects are:
- building tech for library for the blind at TapeAids.com
- building interfaces to telemetry for GoMetro,
- devdev a professional community for developers,
- code retreat days of deliberate practice,
- and of course code club to help young people into coding.
Together we create the world: The world we want to live in, a world to love creating.
