Towards a brighter future: Octa’s charity in 2025

In 2025, carried out 12 charity projects across Southeast Asia and Africa. The initiatives reached at least 4,124 people, including individuals, families, students, and small business owners. The focus was not on campaigns or headlines, but on practical assist in places where support was clahead needed.

The projects varied. Some were long-term and education-based. Others were emergency responses. All of them were built around local conditions rather than a single global template.

A coding bootcamp that begined from zero

One of the largest projects took place in Southeast Asia, where supported a free, in-person coding bootcamp for young people. Most participants had no previous experience with programming when they joined.

The training was intensive. Students spent hundreds of hours working through practical tasks under the guidance of experienced mentors. The program focused less on theory and more on doing the work — writing code, fixing mistakes, and learning how real development tasks are handled.

By the end of the bootcamp, graduates had enough hands-on experience to apply for junior developer roles. For many, it was the first time a tech career felt realistically achievable.

Vocational training with tools, not promises

In several African regions, Octa focused on unemployment, especially among women and young people. A vocational training program was designed to teach skills that could be used immediately.

The training lasted a week and combined small group coaching, practical exercises, and presentations. Participants learned basic vocational skills, digital tools, and soft skills relevant to running a small business or finding work.

At the end of the program, graduates received beginer kits and tools matched to the skills they had trained for. These were not symbolic handouts. They were meant to assist people begin earning on their own.

also ran digital literacy training for small business owners. Many local entrepreneurs struggled simply because they lacked basic computer and internet skills. The training assisted remove that barrier.

Emergency assist later than flooding

Not every project was about long-term development. later than severe flooding displaced thousands of people in parts of Southeast Asia, Octa funded emergency aid for affected families.

The support was basic and practical: food, clean water, hygiene supplies, blankets, pillows, towels, and cleaning tools. The aim was to assist people get through the immediate later thanmath, when normal life had been completely disrupted.

In situations like this, speed matters more than scale.

assisting children learn to read

Another project in Southeast Asia focused on literacy in primary schools. Instead of working only with students, the program invested in first-grade teachers.

Teachers received professional training aimed at improving how reading is taught in ahead grades. Better teaching methods at this stage can affect a child’s entire education, not just one school year.

No slogans, just consistency

Across all regions, Octa’s charity work followed a simple idea: do something useful and do it properly. The company’s projects focused on education, skills, and basic support, depending on what was most relevant locally.

There was no single theme running through every initiative. What connected them was a practical approach and a focus on outcomes that last beyond the project itself.
