Itumeleng LeronaCommunity OrganizationDonate now We help young people and community members build practical skills in IT, coding and robotics — so local talent can learn, create and lead from right here at home.
Why we exist
Our purpose
Itumeleng Lerona is a community-rooted skills development centre in Jericho. We exist to help alleviate poverty by making learning more practical, local and connected to real pathways — from first digital steps to further training, work and enterprise.
Deep roots. New routes.Our identity is grounded in where we come from — and focused on where our community can go next.
What we grow
Small-group, project-led learning designed to feel useful from day one — with room to grow as partnerships and resources expand.
Practical computer confidence, online safety and the everyday tools needed to study, work and connect.
Hands-on problem-solving through code, from first principles to useful websites and community projects.
An inviting first step into sensors, circuits and automation that turns curiosity into something learners can build.
Digital portfolios, career readiness and entrepreneurial confidence for a changing world of work.
How learning moves
A practical pathway
Technology is easier to embrace when learners can see what it is for. Every step connects knowledge to something tangible.
Start with confidence, context and a welcoming introduction to technology.
Learn by doing through guided challenges, teamwork and practical projects.
Use new skills to solve a real need at home, at work or in the community.
Move toward further training, a learnership, employment or enterprise.
Technology beyond the screen
Digital skills sit inside a bigger vision for dignity, food security and local enterprise. Our planned community garden and poultry work remain important — now with room to explore digital record-keeping, sensors, small-business tools and smarter resource use.
Give opportunity a place to grow
Every contribution helps bring practical learning closer to the people who need it — through devices, robotics equipment, connectivity, facilitators and safe access to training.
