Since 2015, we’ve been working in remote Turkana County, Northern Kenya, where the semi-arid environment and poor infrastructure severely limit sources of income. So we built a first-of-its-kind ICT campus at the shores of the region’s vast lake. If this digital education model can work here, then it can work anywhere. Our vision is to bring the same opportunities to the talent of other remote communities. <br><br> Learning Lions <br> - Remote areas and underprivileged youth <br> - Training AND job creation program <mark><br> - We start from scratch: working with talented youth without any prior IT training or tertiary education.</mark> <br> - Focus on human-capital intensive and creative skills: more fulfilling and more sustainable career perspectives <mark><br> - Quality over quantity: our trainings and job creation programs are life-changing</mark> <br> - Sustainable business model: income from graduates and digital nomad program will cross-finance educational cost
