Code Her Future Kenya empowers vulnerable girls in Nairobi's informal settlements with digital skills that open doors to economic independence. More than coding, the program blends one-to-one and group lessons with trauma-informed mentoring and career pathways. Each year, 300 girls gain coding, design, and digital skills, build portfolios, and connect to jobs or freelance opportunities, transforming not just their futures but their families and communities too.
In Mathare, many young women grow up without access to technology or the skills to use it confidently. They finish school with few options and face poverty, gender-based violence, early motherhood, and limited opportunities for further education. Without digital skills, they remain locked out of the growing digital economy, trapped in cycles of dependence and unable to reach their full potential.
This project provides free training in coding, graphic design, digital marketing, and virtual assistance for vulnerable young women in Mathare. With mentorship, career guidance, and psychosocial support, girls gain both technical and life skills. Graduates leave ready for jobs, freelancing, or entrepreneurship, breaking cycles of poverty and creating sustainable futures.
By gaining digital skills and mentorship, young women in Mathare secure jobs, start businesses, and support their families. This breaks cycles of poverty, fosters confidence, and creates role models for their peers. Over time, empowered women strengthen communities, influence decisions, and open opportunities for all, building a more inclusive digital future.
