Community comes first, and privacy comes with it. We build simple, secure technology that helps newcomers and other underserved communities find reliable information and connect with the people who can help them.
We work hand in hand with other non-profits and community organisations. Many of them do vital work but do not have the tools or technical support to reach everyone they want to serve. That is where we come in. We bring the technology, they bring the community and the local knowledge, and together we build solutions that reach more people and serve them better.
The technology makes the introduction. The community takes it from there, sharing what they know and helping each other settle in. By joining forces, we turn good work into greater impact and to do it in a way that protects everyone’s privacy.
Coders Beyond Borders walks with newcomers from arrival to career with Factstream AI embedded in everything we build.
THE CHALLENGE
LEGAL INSECURITY
Legal and civic systems are complex and fast-moving. Newcomers miss rights no one explains, depend on hearsay, and get excluded by paperwork.
Coders Beyond Borders exists to build scalable infrastructure that addresses the full migrant journey
Legal insecurity
Arriving in a new country means facing legal and civic systems that are complex, fast-moving, and rarely built with newcomers in mind. The result is a quiet erosion of rights and confidence:
our community-centric tech solution gives refugees and asylum seekers clear answers about their rights and how to navigate official systems
Civic integration
Access to information is a starting point, not the destination. Lasting inclusion is built through people: relationships, role models, and a real sense of belonging.
our project strengthens integration through peer leadership and community support, turning lived experience into a resource that helps others find their footing and lead in turn
Economic participation
Too often, skilled newcomers end up far below their potential. Our research found that 77% work below their qualifications, and the cost is felt on both sides of the labour market:
our project connects high-skilled refugees with employers and mentors who recognise what they bring, turning underused talent into meaningful, well-matched work and lasting independence.
Our foundation serves newcomers and other underserved communities, addressing:
Developing privacy-protecting, open technology that improves newcomers' access to justice, information, education, and public services.
Helping newcomers understand their rights, obligations, procedures, and support systems, and connecting them to legal and social support.
Creating trusted support structures that reduce isolation and strengthen social participation.
Supporting newcomers through mentorship, workforce readiness, employer partnerships, and job creation, including EU-wide collaboration.
Strengthening leadership, literacy, participation, and opportunity for newcomer women.
Building digital and technology skills, including coding, so newcomers can take part in a digital society and economy. Directly addresses digital inequality.
Producing public-interest knowledge on migration, employment, inclusion, privacy, and ethical AI, and advocating for change with partner organisations.
Making our technology, knowledge, tools, and services available to other organisations serving these communities, so change scales through the organisations they already trust.
Our foundation serves the public good by addressing:
Helping refugees, asylum seekers, and migrants understand rights, obligations, procedures, and support systems.
Creating trusted support structures that reduce isolation and strengthen social participation.
Supporting newcomers through mentorship, workforce readiness, partnerships, and opportunity creation.
Strengthening leadership, literacy, participation, and opportunity for migrant and refugee women.
Producing public-interest knowledge on migration, employment, inclusion, privacy and ethical AI.
Designing systems that improve access to justice, information, education, and public services.
Refugees face inaccessible legal information, often in unfamiliar languages and formats.
Many are left without guidance, unsure where to turn for trustworthy legal help.
Refugees often struggle to integrate due to lack of access to events, training, and peer networks.
Translates, simplifies, and localizes legal information in multiple languages using AI.
Connects users to pro-bono lawyers or senior legal students based on case complexity.
An event calendar and peer navigator network foster engagement and local participation.

Coders Beyond Borders builds responsible technology and community solutions for social impact. We bring together leaders from across technology, law, and civil society to address structural problems that existing systems have failed to solve.
Our work is grounded in three principles: technology that is secure, open, and built in the public interest; programs that are community-led and shaped by lived experience; and a long-term commitment to scalable, transferable solutions. Today we focus on migrant inclusion in the Netherlands. Tomorrow we go where the need takes us.
