Pastor James Mureithi, Founder 

James grew up in a small village in rural Kenya. Like many other of his age, during his time he struggled to make his way through primary and secondary school, often not having the supplies or tuition that he needed. It wasn’t until he entered college that he first encountered a computer class. Curiosity drove him learn as much as possible about computers, the internet and instilled a passion for creating a ministry dedicated to providing the opportunity to teach digital literacy skills to under resourced kids in Embu Kenya. He ended up to apply for scholarship online and was awarded one under Urban Promise International fellowship programs. James and his wife are blessed with two kids.
