Kenya is the second largest county in East Africa, with the largest and most diversified economy. Home to ambitious and well-educated young people eager to participate in the country's workforce, and, as of June 2022, more than half a million refugees in settlements of Kakuma, Dadaab, Nairobi, El Doret, Nakuru, and Mombasa.

Kenya has recently passed significant reforms to help establish sustained economic growth, social development, and political stability, and they have demonstrated their intent to bridge the digital divide by enhancing the digital infrastructure and increasing the affordability of Internet services. Despite these efforts, however, the Internet penetration rate is still at about 32% and Kenya is still struggling with problems like weak private sector investment, economic vulnerability to internal and external shocks, and youth unemployment. The latter, as we see it, is a big obstacle, hindering the solution to many global problems. 

As youth unemployment remains a major challenge in Kenya, we help students in Kisumu build careers in AI, web and app development, cybersecurity, and blockchain. We also work in Kakuma - in refugee camps where formal employment isn’t an option, access to a laptop and home internet can transform lives. In Nairobi, we support young people from informal settlements enrolled in coding and front-end development programs. Across all regions, we equip young women and refugee girls with laptops and internet access — tools that enable them to fully participate in their training, complete internships, and pursue meaningful careers after graduation.
