Learning Lions

Past mission

Learning Lions provides ICT, design and business training and job creation through digital empowerment to marginalized youth in rural Turkana (Northern Kenya), enabling them to become creative professionals in the digital economy, following an innovative and wholistic approach of education.
The goal of Learning Lions is to reduce the high unemployment rate in impoverished rural areas of Eastern Africa and enable talented and motivated young adults to work and live a better life full of perspective in their region of origin. The skills taught by Learning Lions in combination with the possibility to market them online (through our partner Startup Lions), perfectly respond to a growing demand for simple ICT and Media tasks for the regional and international markets and the growing awareness of (corporate) social responsibility.
Since 2015, Learning Lions has trained more than 1.000 youth in basic and advanced ICT skills, among them refugees from Kakuma refugee camp and a steadily increasing number of female participants. Through our new dedicated ICT campus with an initial capacity of 200 people and through a redesigned course system, we are now ready to scale up this program to reach even more underprivileged youth in Turkana.
