About us
The Python Software Community in Ghana (Python Ghana), is a registered non-profit organisation, run solely by kind-hearted individuals with the common vision of moving Africa to the forefront in the world of technology.
Burdened with limited resources, promising talents in Africa, especially in tech, are forced to upskill through non-traditional pathways which are quite challenging.
Our mission is to equip and empower society through technology, with Python and other related technologies.
We aim to promote the use of technology across industries, communities, schools, learning centers, regardless of age, ethnicity, gender, ability, recognizing the value of diversity.
With Python at the heart of most emerging technologies currently redefining traditional roles and structures in our society, it is imperative to be prudent and be active contributors to this change.
We are not just Python-centric. We aim to also positively influence the rate of technological change in our society.
The Community
The community is an open hub that embraces master programmers, intermediate, absolute beginners, and even just the curious-minded in an environment where knowledge is shared, and family is built.
We are a diverse group currently comprising six user-groups around the country, and various initiatives such as: PyLadies Ghana, a mentorship group focused on bridging the diversity gap in tech by empowering more ladies and introducing them to tech using the Python Programming language and; PyData Ghana for educating individuals in Data science and Artificial intelligence. Other pipeline initiatives/projects includes- PyScholars, for young scholars at the senior high level and; PyClubs where students meet and learn at the tertiary level.
We set out to -
- Foster unity among community members and promote the individual development of community members.
- Educate, encourage, support and if necessary, help facilitate projects of members of the community.
The community is open to everyone at all levels, so whether you are resident in Ghana or outside the country, an absolute beginner or a maestro programmer in Python or other languages but have some interest in Python, our community will embrace you.
Join us on our journey as we endeavour to make a difference!
Please note:
All members of our community are to adhere to our Code of conduct: COC | Python Ghana π¬π

Devs Day Upper West
Noni Hub, Wa, Ghana, Wa, GHDevs Day Upper West!
Beyond Boundaries: Driving Inclusive Tech for the Upper WestThe Upper West has talent. What it has lacked are places to meet, learn from each other, and build together. Devs Day Upper West is our answer to that.
Organized by Python-WA, the Python Ghana community in Wa, this is the first event of its kind in the region. It brings developers, students, and anyone curious about technology together for a full day of learning, conversation, and connection.Why we're doing this
For a long time, anyone in the Upper West who wanted to get into tech had to do it alone, with very little local support and few people nearby to learn from. Python-WA started as a small group trying to change that. Devs Day is the next step: a bigger room, more people, and a clear message that you don't have to leave the region to be part of the tech community.Get involved
We are looking for sponsors and partners who want to help build tech where it has been overlooked, and for speakers and volunteers who want to be part of the first Devs Day in the region.
To sponsor, partner, or volunteer, write to us at wa@pythonghana.org.Stay in the loop
Join this group to get updates as details are confirmed, and share the event with someone in the Upper West who should be there.
We look forward to seeing you in Wa.11 attendees
