In 2023, Kijiji Yeetu carried out extensive techno-feasibility studies and ICT gap assessments in Ugunja, Siaya County, revealing significant internet connectivity gaps and low digital literacy levels. Our response was swift and effective, bringing low-cost internet to five schools—Sirandumb, Ambira, Ngunya, Ugunja, and Nyamasare—a community resource center, and several public hotspots. This initiative has empowered the local community, creating unprecedented opportunities for learning and development.
Our strategy is activating smart villages, connecting the unconnected, and bridging the digital divide in Ugunja.
Many organizations in our villages do not see digital technology, research, documentation, and learning practices as important paths forward.
We empower change in rural communities through three key strategies: digital transformation and innovation, multi-stakeholder dialogue, and communities of practice. By introducing new technologies, fostering inclusive discussions, and supporting continuous learning, we help enhance productivity, collaboration, and sustainable development in these areas.
Our projects have been diverse and impactful. The Internet Society supported our Digital Smart Village project, engaging 300 youth across Bungoma, Kibera, and Ugunja for six months. This initiative provided essential technology skills and internet access, opening new pathways for these young people. The Tor Project facilitated three significant meetings in Kibera, Mathare, and Ugunja, reaching 400 women, youth, and persons with disabilities (PWD). These sessions emphasized digital security and inclusivity, critical areas in today’s digital age.
UNESCO collaborated with us on consultations regarding social media policies, ensuring that our communities are well-informed and able to navigate the digital landscape safely and effectively. We also work closely with the CivicTech Innovation Network fraternity based in South Africa, focusing on solutions for digitalization and governance.
The 48Percent.org has been instrumental in deploying connectivity solutions for schools and communities, benefiting 10 institutions. Additionally, the Internet Society Foundation, through the Global Encryption Coalition, supports our activities on Global Encryption Day, promoting secure online communications.
