Meet Evelyn Omollo, a computer instructor and Head of Training at our Kang’aru Digital Hub. Evelyn plays a key role in advancing our #mission: equipping students, teachers, and young people with the #digital skills they need to thrive in today’s world.

What started as a space for just 15 learners can now accommodate over 100 students at a time, providing hands-on access to computers and digital learning. In just a few months, Evelyn has helped train more than 600 students from nearby schools, including learners with disabilities — ensuring that no one is left behind in the digital age.
