More than 140 young people
in Kenya’s Lamu County have graduated from the Huawei DigiTruck Programme after
completing five weeks of digital skills training in Mokowe and Mpeketoni.
The initiative is designed
to promote digital inclusion and equip young people with practical ICT skills
to enhance employability and participation in Kenya’s growing digital economy.
Among the graduates were
participants whose personal stories highlighted the programme’s impact. Rose
Waithera, who gave birth during the training period, returned to complete the
course and successfully graduated. Another participant, Simon Murimi, a student
living with disabilities, attended all sessions and earned certification.
The programme aims to expand
access to digital literacy and ensure broader inclusion of underserved groups
in technology-driven opportunities.
Huawei stated that the
success stories from the cohort demonstrate the role of digital training in
empowering communities, creating opportunities, and supporting Kenya’s broader
digital transformation agenda.
