We teach digital skills in primary schools in Kenya

We set up and equip computer labs in rural primary schools, run ongoing digital classes, and station a full-time teacher to ensure every student grows up immersed in technology.

TechLit Africa is a non-profit organization dedicated to ending intergenerational poverty by harnessing the power of the digital economy. TechLit was founded by two software engineers: Nelly Cheboi, a native of Kenya who grew up in poverty, and Tyler Cinnamon, a self-taught programmer who grew up immersed in Technology. They repurpose old computers to build computer labs in rural primary schools. Since 2018, TechLit has partnered with 15 schools, providing 6,000 children with opportunities to learn various programs and acquire technical skills that will position them for family-sustaining jobs and brighter futures. TechLit provides the tech, curriculum, and educators, while the schools cover the local operations, making the projects sustainable and long-running.
