GitHub has historically supported global developer communities through events such as drinkups, conferences, and training sessions, but had limited exposure to the growing tech scene in sub-Saharan Africa. To explore and engage with these communities, GitHub representatives partnered with The AfricaHackTrip, a group of developers and designers from Europe, to sponsor and participate in hackathons and BarCamps in four African cities. Their journey began in Kigali, Rwanda, where they observed local innovations, including the use of Arduinos for agricultural solutions and challenges with internet connectivity. In Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, they noticed collaboration among tech hubs and hosted a well-attended Git & GitHub workshop. The trip continued in Nairobi, Kenya, where they visited the DEMO Africa conference and tech hub iHub, meeting startups and organizations like Ushahidi, BRCK, and Akirachix, which empowers underprivileged women by teaching them programming skills. GitHub remains committed to supporting developer communities in Africa and the developing world, offering sponsorship and collaboration opportunities for tech events and projects.
