codebrave foundation
In 2018, CodeBrave’s co-founders, Clem and Steven, were volunteering at a
shelter for homeless youth in Lebanon. Many of these young people ended up back
on the streets when they left the shelter, becoming trapped in a cycle of
poverty and exploitation. When one of the boys asked to learn coding, it sparked
an idea. Steven and Clem realised that tech education could give these young
people the skills, confidence, and opportunities to access jobs of the future.
They set up coding and robotics classes in the shelter – and the students loved
it!
