Digital Bridges

Digital Bridges is one of YDF’s flagship projects. It gives children and young people in Kibera the digital skills they need for the future, starting from as young as eight years old.

What learners get

• Internet access and devices
• Training in coding, robotics, artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning
• Hands-on bootcamps, mentoring and innovation challenges

Impact

Working with DEAN, Technovation, Code Yetu and Mshauri Trust, the hub trains more than 300 young people every year, with a strong focus on girls. Some have gone on to present their projects at national tech forums.

Why it matters

The hub is more than a computer lab. It’s a safe, welcoming space that builds creativity and digital confidence, and opens a path to jobs in one of Nairobi’s most underserved communities.
