AFKANERD LABS
We are a think tank developing open-source software and tools for problems that are often overlooked or underserved. Our work is grounded in the challenges facing the African continent, from gaps in technological infrastructure to the lack of tools designed for environments with limited access to resources.
We publish our work as open source and all accompanying papers as public knowledge. We encourage everyone to star our projects on GitHub, donate to keep the work going, and verify the published work whenever possible.
