About AINA

An Africa that creates the digital.

AINA — the Association for African Digital Inclusion — is a non-profit organization helping children (from age 6), teenagers (13–18) and adult entrepreneurs across Africa master the tools and skills of the digital economy.

In a country where the digital economy makes up over 6% of Côte d'Ivoire's GDP and where 81% of SMEs have never received cybersecurity training, AINA acts as a bridge across generations, genders and skill levels.

Our cause

An African reality. A concrete response.

In Côte d'Ivoire alone, over 27 million cyberattack attempts were detected in 2024. SMEs — 83% of the economy — are the primary victims. Yet 81% have never given or received cybersecurity training. The answer starts with education — and it has to start early.
