Passerelles Numériques (PN) is a French non-profit organization, created in 2005, operating in Cambodia, the Philippines, Vietnam, and Madagascar.
Our mission is to unlock the potential of underprivileged youth by empowering them with innovative education in key digital and soft employability skills. Our goal is that each student finds a quality job aligned with local tech market needs, allowing them and their families to escape poverty in a sustainable way and contribute to the social and economic development of their country.
We provide training in our centers in Southeast Asia, and a pre-preparatory program to enter university at our center in Madagascar. From their first day of school, until graduation, and their first job, we support each of our students on their journey. After studying at PN, our students become web developers, analysts, app testers… and find quality jobs for life. At least 50% of our students are young women. PN contributes directly to 6 of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals.
