Our mission is to alleviate poverty among marginalized girls and women in Kenya. We achieve this by providing holistic education to rural girls and boys, reducing the gender and skills gap in STEM & AI Education, and empowering the youth through digital literacy, entrepreneurship training and mentorship.

We empower rural students, especially girls and young women, by breaking barriers to education through scholarships, school supplies,  menstrual hygiene support, while fostering STEM and AI interest via hands-on learning activities and training teachers in STEM and AI integration and  equipping youth with skills for economic resilience, creating a brighter, more equitable future for underserved communities.
