UDI
Our flagship five-year programme (2026/27 – 2030/31): digital skills and freelancing training, mentorship, community digital hubs, devices and connectivity, rural outreach and platform onboarding — measured every step of the way.
The Ujuzi Digital Initiative is the frame for most of our work with partners and donors. It joins up everything a young person needs to move from learning to earning: practical skills, a mentor, a device and a connection, and a trusted route to paying clients.
Training is practical and mobile-first, delivered in Kiswahili and English, at community access points and online. Graduates are onboarded to the Ujuzi-Tu Freelance Platform with a verified profile, where payment for their work is held safely until it is delivered.
Monitoring, evaluation and learning run through the programme: we track participation, completion, first earnings and inclusion, and publish what we learn.

Target
Uses digital work as a route out of poverty: identifying poor and near-poor households, routing them into paid work and supported purchases, with every transaction forming an evidence trail.
Governs every flow of non-profit money — causes, donations and sponsorships, beneficiary support and subsidised purchases — and builds the partnerships that fund the work.
Brings short, practical courses authored by institutions of standing into the Ujuzi-Tu learning area, and pairs learners with mentors — mobile-first, low-bandwidth, in Kiswahili and English.
