Computers and coding for children in rural Kenya

Nelly Cheboi’s nonprofit, TechLit Africa, has provided thousands of students across rural Kenya with access to donated, upcycled computers — and the chance for a brighter future. When she began working in the software industry, she realised that many computers were thrown away as companies upgraded their technology infrastructure. So, together with a fellow software engineer they founded TechLit Africa. The students not only get upcycled computers but are also learning various skills such as coding.
