Brief Description

I am the project manager for TunapandaNET community network, championed by Tunapanda Institute in Kibera Nairobi. The goal of the network is to promote use and adoption of ICTs by the community through affordable access and capacity building. We are currently looking to connect schools and community centers and provide them learning resources and skills to utilise ICTs. Additionally, I focus on promoting gender equity in technology through mentorship and training for women and girls. Topics vary from careers in technology to ICTs and governance for women.
