Children's Computing In Kenya!



I'm Annie, a young female who would looove to improve the access to Computing lessons across the globe! This Summer I'm hoping to be joining The Nairoshi Foundation in providing my own knowledge on tech to the wonderful Kenyan children and teachers of Building Hope Academy.

Travelling to Africa and providing children with both educational resources and care is a huge dream of mine, and I'm so incredibly excited to be offered a position to work with such a beautifully crafted foundation with some world inspiring aims.

For several months, I'm hoping to stay and support the wonderful work of the foundation; providing teaching, administration, student support etc all within the Kenyan land that surrounds it. 

There are so many things to be considered before embarking on such a large trip, such as the cost of travel, resources, visas etc which are all aimed to be fulfilled before the travel date of July this year! The money I raise and earn will all go towards both the expenses of travel and providing the children with educational teaching resources such as VTech, Coding Bee's education packs from TechWillSaveUs and many other donations and tools to aid the little ones in their educational journey!

This trip will aid me in my understanding of the lifestyle in Africa for my own lifetime project, Code The Globe . It will not only allow me to connect with other projects and ideas around the world, but also support many others whilst learning the variety of lifestyles that the world holds.

Instead of following the university wave, I'm hoping to embark on my dream as soon as possible, encouraging little ones to follow their imagination leading them to success. I'm so fond on the idea that there could be people unknown of tech but have the spark to change and advance the industry!

Any support would be so so so very grateful! Whether that be pointing me in the right direction for resources, donating stationary or aiding me in my expenses. I will be forever filled with gratitude in me being able to fulfill such a goal of mine!

Thank you sooooo much for reading!
