Where Your Donation Goes
Every contribution is stewarded with complete transparency to maximize tangible learner impact.
Internet & Connectivity Bundles
In Kenya, mobile data costs remain the #1 reason talented youth drop out of virtual bootcamps. Your gift provides monthly data stipends so learners never miss live classes, code sprints, or standups.
Hardware & Computing Access
Modern machine learning and AI libraries require capable machines and cloud computing. We provide refurbished laptops and GPU cloud credits for deep learning model training.
Physical Meetups & Demo Days
We host physical meetups and demo days in Nairobi where learners present market-ready solutions to industry panels, receive feedback, and build professional networks.
Capstone Incubation Seed Grants
Graduating capstone teams advancing to our Incubation Programme receive micro-grants and legal support to launch ethical AI startups addressing local African challenges.
