With a rapidly growing workforce, young Africans will drive growth, innovation and shared prosperity across the continent.

Founded in 2025, THEYA Foundation – Technology, Health and Education for Young Africans – is a technology-driven philanthropic organization that equips young people and women across Africa with the digital skills and health innovations needed to thrive in today’s global economy.

THEYA, a non-profit organization of American technology leader Cybastion, administers theAfrica DigiEmpowerprogram, an ambitious digital workforce initiative designed to meet the demand for skilled professionals in artificial intelligence (AI), cybersecurity and computer programming by training hundreds of thousands of youth and women and creating pathways to employment and entrepreneurship.

Partnerships are at the heart of our work. THEYA is reshaping U.S.-Africa philanthropy through a locally-led, capacity-driven model. Consistent with a country's national priorities, we partner with African ministries, universities, U.S. embassies, and the private sector in the United States and Africa to build local capacity, certify national trainers, and deliver measurable impact.

In health, the foundation will soon launch programs that improve health care delivery and outcomes and introduce innovative solutions that improve access, quality and resilience.
