A small team, a wide network

Kijiji Yeetu is not built from the top down. It runs on local technicians, community champions, volunteers and partners who believe the village should own its digital future.

Net wardens

Local technicians trained to build, maintain and repair the network — 50 of them so far.

Installation, maintenance and troubleshooting

Smart village champions

Residents who mobilise their villages, host digital skills sessions and connect people to online services.

Community mobilisation and digital inclusion

Internet safety champions

Youth, women and people with disabilities trained to lead digital safety and cybersecurity conversations in their communities.

Digital safety, privacy and online rights

Local action groups

Community committees that set priorities, hold budgets and keep projects accountable to the people they serve.
