Gitega Study Space is a digital learning and innovation hub based in the heart of Burundi. Established by the Free Tech Institute (FREETI), a Burundian non-profit that promotes freedom through emerging technologies, the center serves as a platform for young people to acquire practical digital skills, explore new technologies, and develop innovative projects that drive local impact.
Our mission is to bridge the digital divide by providing access to technology, mentorship, and quality training, empowering youth to become active contributors to Burundi’s digital transformation and sustainable development.
We strive to provide Burundians with intellectual resources, educating and training them to understand decentralized finance, privacy, and decentralized technologies as alternative tools to strengthen their individual freedoms and broaden their opportunities.
