In a nation where nearly 75% of the population is under the age of 35, our youth are not just a demographic, they are Kenya’s future. Yet, this future is at risk.
Rural youth across the country are brimming with talent but trapped in cycles of poverty, underemployment, and digital exclusion. Many complete school full of ambition only to find no jobs and no voice in the city. They return to the village disillusioned, riding boda bodas, doing menial tasks, and watching time slip away. They are not lazy. They are locked out.
Aid organizations come and go, but who equips this generation to create, lead, and innovate? This is not just a poverty problem. It is a power problem.
Digital Moran does not just ask “What if?” – we act.
We are powering a grassroots tech uprising where tools replace handouts and ideas replace dependence. This is not aid. This is agency. We are flipping the script from underserved to unstoppable, from boda boda riders to brand builders. The true wealth of rural Kenya is not its land; it is its youth who are resilient, brilliant, and ready. And we are here to ignite that future.
For God & Underserved Youth
My name is Siloma Stephen. I grew up in a village where opportunities were few and dreams often died young, but I taught myself the digital skills that led me to build an agency working with clients like the United Nations.
But every time I visited home, I saw the same struggle: talent wasted and futures cut short by a lack of opportunity. So I quit my stable, well-paying government job and walked away from a steady income to start Digital Moran.
I made a choice to give my best years to helping young people from underprivileged backgrounds learn the same high-demand digital skills that changed my life. My mission is to create 1,000 successful businesses by training over 100,000 youth. I believe in this dream, and I want you to be a part of it.
Our uprising is not random; it is guided by a code. These are the principles that shape our culture and define our commitment to lasting impact. We are committed to:
To provide underserved youth with free, accessible digital skills training and a direct path to earning an income through our professional freelancing platform, starting with our home community in Kajiado South.
A future where any village can become a digital hub, where overlooked talent in rural communities across Africa is connected to global opportunities, and where a successful career does not require leaving home.
Siloma Stephen is a social entrepreneur and the visionary founder of Digital Moran. With over 12 years of experience in the tech industry, he has dedicated his life to empowering overlooked rural youth with the digital skills needed to build sustainable careers.
