We provide free and massively discounted training to people who would otherwise not be able to afford to take part in what we do here. This is not as straight-forward as it sounds for a lot of reasons. It is very easy to be inefficient when trying to do good.

- We work with community leaders to give the right training to the right people, meeting folks where they are with the training that is most likely to stick
- We include community leaders in our training so that they have more skills they are able to share and support on
Currently we are focusing on a few Python code clubs based in Ghana:

Black Python Devs
Extending the ecosystem of Python Communities to Black and Colo(u)red Communities around the world.
BPD's goal is to become the largest community of Black Python Developers in the world and establish that community as a source for diverse leaders in the greater Python community.
BPD aims to:
- Establish guidance, mentorship, and career support for Black Pythonistas around the world.
- Create opportunities for the Python community to invest in local communities of Black Python Devs members.
- Increase participation of Black Python Devs members in existing Python community programs, events, and initiatives.
