Young people training with Digital Moran

Five Fully Paid Scholarships

Tuition, accommodation and meals at S & S School of Technical Skills — one student from each ward in Kajiado South.

How this happened

One Video. One Stranger Watching. Five Futures.

We ran an empowerment session and put the video out the way we put everything out, without expecting anything back. A lady in Nairobi came across it on TikTok.

She runs S & S School of Technical Skills. She watched the young people in that video, saw what they were up against, and offered to sponsor five of them through her school outright: tuition, a place to sleep and food on the table.

No handouts, no strings. A real skill, paid for in full, for five young people from Kajiado South who could not otherwise afford it.

What the scholarship covers

Everything That Usually Stops You

The sponsorship covers any course S & S offers. You will not be asked for a shilling at any stage of this process.

Full tuition

Any course offered at S & S School of Technical Skills, from makeup and pastry to barista work, epoxy crafts and the AI programmes. You choose.

Accommodation

A place to stay for the length of the course, so distance from home is not the reason you miss out.

Meals

Food covered while you train, because nobody learns a trade hungry.

You must be from Kajiado South

This is not open countrywide, and we will not make an exception. We are taking one student from each of the five wards and no more. If you are not a resident of Kajiado South, please leave these five places for the young people they were meant for, and watch this space for the next round.

How we choose

Transparent, and In the Open

We would rather tell you exactly how this works than have anyone wondering whether it was decided in advance. It was not.
