ABOUT US

Youth Promise Centre is a nonprofit ministry based in Embu, Kenya, at the foot of Mt. Kenya. The organization is dedicated to empowering underprivileged children and youth through after-school programs and seasonal camps.

With a strong focus on digital literacy, Youth Promise Centre aims to bridge the technology gap by equipping young people with essential computer skills and access to information. Our long-term vision is to establish a fully equipped computer training and information access center where learners can gain practical skills, expand their knowledge, and unlock opportunities for a better future.

 

BACKGROUND

Imagine going through both elementary and high school without ever touching a computer keyboard or learning how to use one. This is the reality for many aspiring students in rural—and even some urban—areas of Kenya.

Currently, less than 21% of Africans have reliable access to the internet. In an increasingly digital and interconnected world, this gap puts children in places like Embu at serious risk of being left behind.

If we are to improve living standards and effectively fight poverty, we must create opportunities that equip young people with relevant skills. Without access to digital tools and knowledge, their potential remains limited—not by ability, but by lack of exposure.

The question is no longer whether digital literacy is important, but whether we are willing to act in time to make a difference.
