In a world powered by technology, digital illiteracy is the new poverty. Across Kenya, countless youth and low-income earners remain excluded from opportunities because they lack access to basic tech skills. The Dennykins Associates Foundation is determined to change that.
Under its Digital Literacy for Economic Inclusion program, the foundation is:
- Teaching essential computer skills to youth and women in informal settlements
- Training participants to use mobile money, online banking, and digital tax tools
- Offering free access to laptops, internet, and mentorship at their digital hubs
The goal is not just to train, but to empower communities to thrive economically. Whether it’s a mama mboga learning how to track sales on Excel or a recent graduate applying for jobs online, these digital skills are life-changing.
What makes the initiative different?
- It’s community-centered: tailored to the actual needs of the people
- It’s inclusive: women and persons with disabilities are prioritized
- It’s practical: focused on real-world applications like business, compliance, and self-employment
With support from tech partners and passionate volunteers, the foundation is opening doors to a future where no Kenyan is left behind in the digital economy.
