Fund the mission
support tech for good
Become a supporter
Funders and individuals keep the fire going between events. Your support pays for the AI tools, the mentors, the travel and the follow-up that turn a single hackathon into a lasting community.
In short
Access to technology should be a human right, not a privilege of geography or income. Supporters are the people who help Tembi Labs act on that between the headline moments. Hackathons and device donations are the visible part of the work. Behind them sits the quieter cost of keeping a movement alive: sponsored AI tools and credits, mentors who give their time, travel to reach universities, and the follow-up that keeps a community together after the prizes are handed out.
Supporters make that possible. Whether you give funding or open your network, you help us reach more universities, place more devices and stay long enough to see the results compound. And you back a team that reports every result in the open.

In short
Radical transparency
We report our impact, our budget and our failures as openly as our wins. All of our KPIs are public. When you support Tembi Labs, you can see exactly what your contribution moved, because we would not ask you to trust what we are not willing to show.
In short
Where your support compounds
Support does not stop at a single weekend. Funding an AI hackathon in Africa, South Asia or Latin America starts a chain that keeps paying off. The students who build become Chapter Leads and AI Champions, the demand they prove earns a computer room, and the room gives the next cohort the AI skills for jobs that lift a whole community. When you fund AI education in the Global South, you are backing a digital inclusion initiative that grows on its own momentum rather than a one-off event.
That is also why we stay disciplined about scale. We would rather turn one university into a self-sustaining ecosystem than scatter thin support across many. Your contribution follows proven demand, so every euro widens tech access in developing countries where it is already taking root.

FAQ
Questions, answered.
The running costs behind the visible work: sponsored AI tools and credits, mentors, travel to reach universities, and the follow-up that keeps a community going after an event ends.
Fully. We report our impact, our budget and our failures openly, and all of our KPIs are public. You can see what your contribution moved.
Yes. Warm introductions to universities, companies with devices, or other funders are hugely valuable, as is lending your time as a mentor or juror.
Tembi Labs is a team-led initiative. We describe ourselves as an NGO in mission, and we are transparent about our current legal status when you get in touch.
No. We run talent-activation programmes, not charity. Participants are the authors of their success, and supporters back a system that turns talent into opportunity.
Support follows proven demand. A hackathon shows where the need and the talent are, then funding, tools and devices go where they have the greatest long-term impact.
Yes. We report back on the events, students and rooms your support helped make possible, in the same open way we report everything else.
Get in touch and you will be connected to a direct contact at Tembi Labs who can find the right way for you to help.
Yes. Companies support through funding, device donations or a Corporate Challenge Day, and each fits a corporate social responsibility or sustainability goal. We report the outcome openly, so your team has something real to show for it.
No. Support scales from a small individual contribution to a funded programme. What matters more than size is that it goes where demand is proven, and we report exactly where it landed. ---
