Our Story

Cloud Heroes Africa

In September 2021, AWS launched a certification challenge by providing 6000 vouchers to Cloud Enthusiast in sub Saharan Africa. Our guardian Angel (A Reverend Sister, who requests to remain anonymous) heard of this challenge and knew this was a golden opportunity for Africans.

Under the leadership of Samoa Shang, Cloud Heroes Africa was born.

We officially formed the non-profit organization in August of 2022 with the primary goal of providing FREE Cloud Computing training, mentorship and opportunities to hard working under-privileaged Africans and help balance inequity.

Our Objectives

Provide free access to training, platforms, tools, material, mentoring and internships to aspiring Cloud Technologists in Africa.

Educate local communities on skills needed to compete and be successful in today's global technology market.

Student Testimonials

I wish to say a big thank you to Cloud Heroes Africa for inspiring me to believe in myself and never giving up on my dreams. I started my studies with little to no knowledge in Tech and with a lot of difficulties and doubts, but thanks to dedicated teachers who never gave up on me, I passed my AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner exam. Now, I am studying for the AWS Certified Solution Architect Associate. I promise to give back the same positive energy to those coming behind me. God bless you all.

I am happy to be a student of Cloud Heroes Africa. They have allowed me to enhance my skills and enriched my knowledge in Cloud computing. Two weeks after joining, I was advised to do the AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner exam, and I passed! I regularly participate in the weekly hands-on labs and exam preparations. In a few weeks, I will take the AWS Solutions Architect Associate exam. With effective teaching, mentoring, and guiding, my cloud skills are top-notch. Thank you, Cloud Heroes Africa.

Cloud Heroes Africa has helped me to learn everything I know about the Cloud, especially AWS Cloud. They have helped be to become an inquirer, searching for knowledge about AWS Cloud services and how to use these services to build Cloud solutions for businesses. With Cloud Heroes Africa I have become a life long learner, as I keep developing myself professionally each day using the amazing resources they provide. Thanks to them, I am a AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner and I am currently working to become an AWS Certified Solutions Architect Associate.

Partner Testimonials

No African gets left behind! Cloud Heroes Africa truly lives this. It is nothing short of inspiring how Cloud Heroes Africa have diligently supported so many aspiring Cloud Engineers gain AWS Cloud skills.

I deeply admire the incredible work that Cloud Heroes Africa is doing to provide learning opportunities to the less fortunate in the area of Cloud computing. I am truly impressed by the impact that you are making in the lives of those who benefit from your programs. It is inspiring to see a community of Cloud professionals come together to give back to society and empower those who are most in need. It is not only helping individuals to improve their skills but also giving them the potential to create a better future for themselves and their families. Your efforts are a shining example of what can be achieved when individuals come together to make a positive difference in their communities.

Balwinder Kaur, Sr. Solution Architect, Microsoft

I have always said Africa was late when it comes to taking advantage of the industrial age. And now we are in the digital age and we cannot be late. The only way we cannot be late or left behind is for Africans to gain the right skills to leverage on the opportunities that are available in the digital age. The incredible work Cloud Heroes Africa is doing in equipping young Africans with the right digital skills for free is commendable and creating incredible transformation.

Dr. Javnyuy Joybert, CEO of COSDEF Group LTD
