EMobilis X Ajira Digital Community

For the past six years, the Ajira Digital Program has been opening doors for young people across Kenya to participate in the global digital economy.

Through digital skills training and access to online work opportunities, hundreds of thousand young Kenyans are building new livelihoods regardless of where they live.

From young women pursuing economic independence, to persons with disabilities accessing new opportunities, to refugees and youth in remote communities finding pathways to online work; Ajira Digital continues to ensure that no young person is left behind in the digital age.

In this video, our Regional Coordinators reflect on six years of impact and the growing community of young Kenyans who are turning digital skills into real opportunities.
