Driving Social Change Through Digital Inclusion
Our Work Supports Global Development Goals
CalistaBuildsSkills.org is committed to creating measurable social impact by providing free, accessible, and data-friendly digital skills training for African youths and women.
Our initiative aligns with key United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs):
SDG 4 – Quality Education: Offering practical, beginner-friendly digital training accessible to anyone with a phone.
SDG 8 – Decent Work & Economic Growth: Equipping learners with skills they can use for freelance work, online income, and digital career pathways.
SDG 10 – Reduced Inequalities: Prioritising women, low-income learners, and youths who face barriers to traditional education.
How We Measure Success:
Our impact is measured through:
- the number of learners who enroll in our courses.
- certificates issued upon completion.
- student feedback and thank-you messages.
- activity on our learning platform.
- the growing interest from youths seeking digital skills.
Because our courses are text-based and data-light, we reach students who usually cannot afford heavy video courses.
Every certificate issued is a step toward improved digital confidence and better opportunities for our learners.
