Stanbic Kenya Foundation, in partnership with ATC Kenya and Microsoft, is empowering youth, women, and small businesses with digital skills through the Future Ni Digital program. The initiative, accessible via www.futurenidigital.org, aims to bridge the digital divide and boost economic opportunities.
The program is delivered through TVET institutions, Vocational Training Centers (VTCs), and Community-Based Organizations (CBOs) across Kenya, providing essential digital training. So far, over 237,000 people have benefited, with many earning Microsoft certifications.
“Many young Kenyans struggle to find jobs. Through this program, they can gain digital skills to compete in today’s economy,” said Pauline Mbayah, Head of Stanbic Kenya Foundation.
ATC Kenya CEO George Odenyo highlighted the importance of internet access, saying, “We are committed to building a more connected Kenya by providing high-speed internet and digital learning tools.”
Recent graduations in Kakamega, Kisumu, Busia, Kisii, Taita Taveta, Kilifi, and Kwale showcased how the program is transforming lives. Beneficiaries report improved access to jobs, business growth, and easier access to government services.
The initiative aligns with Kenya’s digital transformation agenda, working with county governments to ensure training meets local needs.
By equipping communities with digital skills, Future Ni Digital is helping Kenyans thrive in an increasingly digital world.
