    Meet Henry Gitau, a passionate tech professional from Nairobi, Kenya! With a Bachelor's degree in Computer + Electronics Systems, Henry has always been driven by a deep interest in user experience and customer support. Before joining the SAP Educate to Employ program, Henry was a student at Mount Kenya University, where he earned the above-mentioned certification. His studies there provided him with a solid technical foundation, and he gained valuable knowledge in both hardware and software aspects of technology. This background fueled his interest in applying technical skills to real-world challenges, especially in areas where technology and user experience intersect. Through the SAP Educate to Employ program, he gained invaluable skills in SAP technology, empowering him to deliver user-focused solutions. During his studies, Henry had the opportunity to work for a government company, where he was involved in network and customer support operations. This role gave him the opportunity to gain practical and hands-on experience and to apply his academic knowledge in a practical setting, particularly in managing network systems and assisting users with technical issues. Henry is now focused on his ultimate goal: becoming a Lead Network Engineer. With his commitment to improving network systems and user experiences, he aspires to lead teams in developing robust network infrastructures that ensure seamless connectivity and security. Achieving this goal will allow him to make a meaningful impact by optimising network systems and enhancing user experiences on a larger scale. Henry is on the fast track to making a lasting impact in the tech world!

  • Yesterday, on #InternationalVolunteerDay, we celebrated the incredible contributions of our volunteers who have been the heart of Yoma’s mission throughout 2024. Today, we continue to honor their passion and dedication, as their impact is far too significant for just one day of recognition. Over the past year, Yoma volunteers have gone above and beyond—organizing transformative community initiatives, mentoring youth, and leading environmental actions. Their efforts have not only strengthened communities but also inspired hope and brought us closer to a sustainable future. 🌍✨ As we reflect on these remarkable achievements, we’re reminded that volunteers are more than participants—they are changemakers who bring Yoma’s vision of a brighter, more inclusive future to life. Their work touches countless lives and motivates us all to strive for greater impact. To every volunteer who has been part of this journey, thank you. Your contributions are invaluable, and together, we’re creating a legacy of meaningful change.

    We were thrilled to host teams from GenU, Umuzi, and UNICEF to explore the Yoma ecosystem and witness the amazing work of the RLabs and Yoma Youth teams in action! This visit provided an exciting opportunity to collaborate on communications strategies, with a focus on capturing youth transformational stories within the Yoma ecosystem. These stories highlight young people overcoming barriers like youth unemployment and limited access to education, showcasing the power of resilience and opportunity. A standout moment was the discussion around the SAP Educate to Employ (E2E) program, which empowers youth by providing critical education and employment opportunities. Meeting Youth Where They Are We were reminded that by meeting young people in the spaces they already frequent, we can foster authentic connections, engage more meaningfully with their interests, and deliver programs that align with their true needs and aspirations. We’re excited to build on these conversations and create even greater opportunities for young people in the future!

  • Excited to see the impact of the FairChance Program in Tongogara Refugee Settlement!

    Reflecting on the past week in Tongogara Refugee Settlement, Zimbabwe, I feel incredibly fortunate to have worked closely on the second pilot of FairChance! — a program that is so much more than an opportunity; it’s empowerment in action! ✨ #NewsBulletin: https://lnkd.in/daxmwyRm The FairChance Program is transforming how young people access and succeed in opportunities. It’s about empowering young people to believe in themselves, build essential skills, and seize possibilities ahead. By blending life skills, entrepreneurship knowledge, and confidence-building while fostering a supportive community, FairChance offers marginalized youth the chance to rewrite their stories and build brighter futures together. Last week, this vision came to life in Tongogara Refugee Settlement. Through a youth-for-youth approach, 5 interns and 50 youth ambassadors from the community were trained to lead program activities on the ground,—empowering them to drive change in their own community. On 7 November 2024, we hosted a vibrant launch event for over 500 attendees, giving the community an opportunity to come together and learn about the program directly from their youth leaders. The event was filled with emotional speeches and powerful performances that showcased the resilience and potential of this community! Special thanks to UNICEF Zimbabwe, The BOOST Fellowship, UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency, the refugee-led Transformation Innovation Hub (TIH), and all other partners for your incredible support. Together, we’re unlocking the potential of migrant youth, equipping them with the tools and confidence to thrive in Tongogara Refugee Settlement! This is just the beginning, and I’m so excited about what lies ahead. The future looks bright! #FairChance #Tongogara #Zimbabwe #YouthEmpowerment #IAm #ICan #IWill #LearningandEarning #NoOneLeftBehind #Goodwall #YOMA #UNICEF #UNHCR #RefugeeYouth Goodwall Yoma World Marcela Correa Tsepo Ngwenyama Ross Foreman Tinashe Mushonga

  • Muhammad’s journey demonstrates how the right opportunities can unlock potential. From Azare, he utilized Yoma resources to explore health innovation and address local challenges, particularly for out-of-school children. His dedication has earned him a scholarship to an international summit in Canada, highlighting how young leaders, armed with digital skills and a commitment to community impact, can achieve global recognition. 🚀 Goodwall atingi.org UNICEF UNICEF Nigeria Generation Unlimited Umuzi.org RLabs *Reconstructed Living Lab RLabs Nigeria Zlto #YouthLeadership #CommunityImpact #HealthInnovation #GlobalOpportunities #YomaSuccessStory

  • Yoma had the privilege of hosting an IoGT User Testing Workshop with UNICEF South Africa, where we introduced participants to the Internet of Good Things (IoGT) platform. The platform delivers websites optimized for minimal data consumption, offers offline support for smartphone users, and integrates features like polls, surveys, quizzes, and user-generated content. It is a game changer for those with limited internet access, ensuring that they have the opportunity to engage meaningfully with digital resources. A highlight of last week’s workshop was the demonstration of how IoGT can support critical content areas such as Mental Health, Sexual and Reproductive Health (SRH), Gender-Based Violence (GBV), and Nutrition. We explored how the platform can empower girls aged 13-24, offering them valuable SRH and wellness resources while fostering community engagement through peer moderation. This workshop marks a significant step in our collaboration with @IoGT and @MoyaPay to advance digital inclusion and ensure that technology serves everyone, especially those in underserved communities. #YomaWorkshop #UNICEF #TechForGood #DigitalInclusion #BlockchainForGood #EmpoweringCommunities #WebDevelopment #GlobalImpact #InnovationForAll
