Support, educate, change lives!

A NEW GENERATION'S STORY

'The secret of change is to focus all your energy, not on fighting the old, but on building the new'  - Socrates

This year, we’ve embarked on a process of strengthening our current relationships and building new ones. Our goal is to have a larger community that works with NairoBits by actively being involved in its growth and progress. We’ve gotten this far with support from the local community and our partners, who have helped us, grow our capacity to educate and empower the Kenyan youth.
 
NairoBits successful impact at the community level has seen the demand for its services increase. In 2001, our first class saw 20 students graduate from the training program while by the end of 2017; more than 6000 young people will have gone through the NairoBits training program, with over 72% securing employment opportunities.

This can only mean one thing; our new generation is hungry for opportunities. Our students are showing up and showing out, putting in the work and the hours required, bettering their lives and that of their communities. They understand the value of an education, and are committed to learning the best they can. 

In Kenya, 18.83% of the population aged 17-24 comes from a disadvantaged background, with no access to education. 18.83% of our young people need an opportunity to unlock their potential, and that's where we come in. 

We're looking to bridge the gap, by banking on our youth for a brighter tomorrow, and shaping the minds that will develop the future. From the next Mark Zuckerberg to the people who will provide solutions that will change lives.

In 2018, we're targeting 300 young people for the training program and moving 200 people to the next course level. How will we achieve this? With your support. We'll be looking to build our capacity to support them achieve their goals. Invest in the pipeline by investing in our new generation of students.
