Our Programs

Programs Run by DuabaNti

DUABANTI FOUNDATION LBG runs six core programs across Ghana. One of them, Road To Tech, is three courses taken in order, and each is listed below on its own. Each sets out what it covers, who it serves, and how to join it.

Introduction to Modern AI Tools
ProgramStage 1: Exposure

Introduction to Modern AI Tools

A hands-on workshop introducing students to cutting-edge AI tools like ChatGPT, AI image generators, and automation platforms — showing them how to leverage AI for learning, productivity, and creative problem-solving.

Modern AI tools are reshaping how students learn, how creators work, and how small businesses operate. This workshop demystifies them with practical, guided hands-on exercises.

Participants experiment with real prompts, build small automations, and leave with a starter toolkit they can use immediately for school, side projects, or content creation.

Introduction to JavaScript
CourseRoad To Tech · Course 1 of 3Stage 2: Skills

Introduction to JavaScript

Course 1 of Road To Tech. Twelve weeks from your first line of code to a working program you demo live — for complete beginners, free, in Accra and online.

JavaScript is the most accessible doorway into modern software, and this is the full twelve weeks of it. You start by printing a line to a screen and finish by demoing a program that solves a real problem for a real person you can name.

One live class a week and one assignment a week, each building on the last. The rest of the week you work through the lessons at your own pace, with a Discord full of people doing the same thing at the same time. Two mini projects and a final project you present at Demo Day.

Most weeks are checked automatically the moment you push your work, so you find out something is broken on Wednesday rather than after the deadline.

This is the first of Road To Tech's three courses: after it come Web & Server App Development and Mobile App Development, which end with a website, its server and a mobile app you have deployed yourself. Cohort 1 started on Wednesday 7 October 2026 and is now closed. Cohort 2 is coming soon: join the waitlist on this page and we will email you the moment its dates are set. One live class a week, four study days spread across the week — Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Sunday, never Saturday — and a Discord that answers. Built around people with jobs and people still in school. There is no fee and no application to pass.

Cohort 2 coming soon

The waitlist is open — we'll email you when dates are set.

  • Your work lives on GitHub from week two — a portfolio, not a certificate
  • Automatic checks on eight of the twelve assignments
  • Two mini projects and a final project you demo live
  • Mentors and a Discord that answers when you are stuck at 11pm

How to join

Course 1 of Road To Tech, and where everyone starts. Cohort 1 started on 7 October 2026 and is closed; Cohort 2 is coming soon. Join the waitlist on the course page and we'll email you the moment it has dates. No fee. Schools, universities and employers wanting a full-class cohort can email us.

Web & Server App Development
CourseRoad To Tech · Course 2 of 3Stage 3: Application

Web & Server App Development

Course 2 of Road To Tech. Eighteen weeks: build a website in React, then the server that powers it — Node, Express and Parse Server — and deploy both to the internet.

Learners start with React and local state, then connect to a real backend they can use before they have to build one. By week 10 they have a deployed app with user accounts and stored data.

The second half goes under the hood: Node, HTTP, Express, and then Parse Server — which turns out to be an Express application they can now read. Cloud Code stops being magic and becomes ordinary server code.

Requires Introduction to JavaScript, or equivalent experience with JavaScript fundamentals, the DOM and async code.

18-week course18 weeksOpen to all

Who it serves

  • Graduates of Introduction to JavaScript
  • Anyone comfortable with JavaScript fundamentals
  • Learners building their first full-stack application

What participants get

  • React: components, state, hooks, forms and routing
  • A real backend with accounts, queries and file storage
  • Node, Express and REST APIs built from scratch
  • Parse Server, Cloud Code, and deploying what you build

How to join

Course 2 of Road To Tech. It opens to the cohort once they finish Introduction to JavaScript; anyone who already has those fundamentals can ask to join by email.

Mobile App Development
CourseRoad To Tech · Course 3 of 3Stage 4: Income & Impact

Mobile App Development

Course 3 of Road To Tech. Twelve weeks of React Native, from a first screen to an app published on the Play Store and the App Store, running on the server learners built in Course 2.

React Native reuses almost everything a learner knows from React, so this course concentrates on what is genuinely different: navigation, device capabilities, offline behaviour, and shipping.

The app connects to the same Parse backend from the previous course. Seeing one backend serve both a website and a phone teaches the client/server split better than any explanation of it.

It ends with a real listing in the Play Store and the App Store under the learner’s own name.

12-week course12 weeksOpen to all

Who it serves

  • Graduates of Web & Server App Development
  • React developers moving to mobile

What participants get

  • React Native and Expo running on a real device
  • Navigation, forms and device input
  • Camera, location, offline storage and push notifications
  • Building, signing and publishing to the Play Store and App Store

How to join

Course 3 of Road To Tech. It opens to the cohort once they finish Web & Server App Development, and uses the server they built there.

Digital exclusion still affects many adults and elders in our communities. This outreach program meets people where they are with patient, respectful, hands-on training.

We focus on the everyday tools that actually move the needle: messaging, mobile money, accessing services, and staying safe online.

Entrepreneurship & Innovation Lab
ProgramStage 3: Application

Entrepreneurship & Innovation Lab

A youth-focused innovation lab where students learn to identify problems in their communities and build tech-driven solutions — turning everyday skills into viable businesses.

Most great African startups begin with a clear-eyed view of a local problem. Our innovation lab teaches young people how to spot, frame, and prototype solutions to those problems.

Through guided sprints, mentorship, and pitch sessions, learners turn ideas into early-stage products — and the discipline they need to keep iterating.

Who it serves

  • Aspiring founders
  • Student innovators
  • University clubs and incubators

What participants get

  • Problem discovery and customer interviews
  • Rapid prototyping with no-code and code tools

  • Pitch practice with founders and mentors

How to join

The lab runs in guided sprints, announced on the Discord. Join there, or contact us if your university club or incubator wants to co-host a lab.
