Moringa has officially launched its free Artificial Intelligence AI upskilling initiative, set to equip 3,600 Kenyan youth with practical, future-ready skills by December 2026. This nationwide programme will ensure that our young professionals in software engineering, education, healthcare, and other targeted professions have the skills needed for the jobs of the future.
Funded as part of a 2 million Google grant and in partnership with WeThinkCode from South Africa, the initiative is part of a continent-wide effort to train 12,000 learners across Kenya and South Africa in AI competencies. Moringa is leading the Kenyan rollout - leveraging its extensive alumni network, grassroots partnerships, and regional expertise to ensure inclusive access to this high-demand skill set. Leveraging Moringa's strengths in software engineering, the program begins with upskilling young software engineers and will later expand to other professional areas such as education and healthcare.
"This initiative is not just about tech, it's about economic mobility. We're unlocking opportunities for thousands of Kenyans to participate meaningfully in the AI-driven economy, not as passive consumers, but as active innovators."
