BCO Foundation
Impact. Opportunity. Integrity.
We meet urgent needs, widen access to learning and work, and build stronger communities through support people can see and trust.
What we do
Four connected programme areas respond to immediate needs while opening lasting paths to stability and opportunity.
Food, water and relief essentials delivered directly to families in hardship — paired with mental health and psychosocial support: community listening circles, peer support groups and counselling for young people, mothers and families in crisis.
Learn moreFree cohort-based training in real, in-demand skills. Learners move through four-week modules with live clinics and small accountability groups, earn badges and points for work they actually submit, and the strongest graduates go straight into our build sprints.
Learn moreWe take teams from prototype to registered business: a twelve-week venture studio with mentorship and build stipends, clinics that handle company registration, tax and trademark filings, then demo days and placements with hiring partners.
Learn moreGrassroots mobilisation on safe health practices, behaviour change campaigns in local languages through radio, town halls and peer advocates, and trained non-partisan citizen observers who record and verify polling-unit results so every vote has an audit trail.

Mentoring alongside Ethereum's founder
At ETHGlobal's ETHCapeTown hackathon, our founder Ben Onuoha served as an official mentor and stood with Vitalik Buterin, the founder of Ethereum. It marked how far Africa's builder community had come, and the Foundation carries that same belief: African talent, given access, builds world-class work.

The work has already begun
Our first outreach brought food and relief bags directly to families. The conversations and needs we encountered continue to shape the Foundation’s work.
