Youth Tech Innovation Lab Launch

Created a state-of-the-art technology lab that has trained 500 youth in coding, digital skills, and entrepreneurship, leading to job placements and startup launches.

The Youth Tech Innovation Lab campaign was launched to bridge the digital skills gap among young people in Kenya. Thanks to overwhelming support from our donors, we've created a space where technology education meets innovation and entrepreneurship. The lab provides: • Modern computer equipment and software • Coding and web development courses • Digital marketing training • Startup incubation support • Industry mentorship Already, 30% of our graduates have secured tech jobs, while 15% have launched their own digital startups. The lab has become a model for youth empowerment through technology education.
