IT AND DESIGN EDUCATION
FOR REMOTE AFRICA

Learning Lions is a non-profit organisation enabling young adults in
marginalised rural communities of East Africa to become digital creatives and
live a life full of (digital) opportunity, right from their home regions.

Donate


OUR MISSION

Learning Lions is a digital empowerment program, providing opportunities to
learn, earn and innovate for young adults in rural Kenya.

We started off in 2015 in Turkana County, Northern Kenya, where traditional
sources of income are extremely limited due to its semi-arid environment, poor
infrastructure and remote location. We have built an ICT model campus at the
shores of Lake Turkana in 2020. Our vision is to bring such digital centers of
opportunities to many other marginalised communities. Our concept is: if we can
make it here, we can make it anywhere.

LEARNING LIONS

Learning Lions offers a 1-year digital training program for Africa’s rural
youth. The programs are split into 3 Levels. All starts with “Mobile LEAP”, a
6-week intensive peer-led digital literacy bootcamp which introduces youths to
technology while emphasizing personal and professional development skills needed
for the digital age. Level 2 is an 8 weeks follow-up program and consists of 3
separate tracks: tech, creative and business. Finally, Level 3 is an 8-month
autodidactic training to specialise in a track, bring students up to a
professional level, and connect them to volunteer mentors from the industry.

To support access to international markets for the graduates from our training
program, Digital Lions was founded as a digital outsourcing agency. Digital
Lions is the world’s first Fair Trade verified digital agency, offering a wide
range of creative services from websites, logos, image editing, flyers and
brochures to videos and 2D animation. The team is assisted and mentored by a
team of high-profile international professionals remotely and on-site.

STARTUP LIONS

In 2020 the solar-powered and eco-friendly Startup Lions ICT Campus, designed by
Africa’s leading architect and Pritzker price winner Francis Kéré, opened its
doors right at the shores of Lake Turkana. It offers housing, coworking space,
entrepreneurship training, and more. The campus can host up to 300 lions and is
also open to international digital nomads and entrepreneurs who want to develop
projects and build startups or outsourcing teams with our Lions.

JOAN OBUNGE

Front-end developer & Training Co-Lead

  Hi, I am Joan Obunge, born in Kisumu but raised in Lodwar. Growing up, I
always wanted to be a nurse, but one day my dream changed when I started to
develop an interest in computers and how I could change the world using the
device. When I got the opportunity of joining Learning Lions, I was very
excited. I learned both technical and soft skills. Now I want to be among the
best designers in the world. From a shy girl to a confident lady, I thank
Learning Lions and Tech Dada – the Girls empowerment program at Learning Lions.
Thank you for the opportunity!


THE TRAINING: FROM BASIC TO ADVANCED

ABC


MOBILE LEAP




MOBILE LEAP

At the Loropio campus as well as for other organisations at their facilities,
Learning Lions offers a 6-week bootcamp called Mobile LEAP - Learning Earning
and Problem-solving. Mobile LEAP empowers young people to leap into the future
of work by harnessing the power of tools and resources available via
smartphones. Trainees are introduced to coding, website creation, design, audio,
video, photography, etc. Additionally, personal and professional development
skills are emphasized such as growth mindset, communication, teamwork and time
management. This training is led by experienced peer trainers. Mobile LEAP lays
the foundations for the Level 2 and 3 training, which 10 to 20% of those that
complete it will be invited to attend.

ADVANCED TRAINING




ADVANCED TRAINING

The greatest talents and performers of the Mobile LEAP training are invited to
stay on campus to join the 2nd level of training for 8 weeks. They will now
specialize in a specific area of technology: tech, creative or business. In the
third and final level, trainees for 8-months learn in an assisted-autodidact
learning approach on a set of curriculum modules that go into deeper specifics
for their area of specialization. This will help them acquire concrete skills
with high demand on global IT markets. Trainees work on a final ‘gig’ similar to
what they would encounter on freelancing platforms and will give a final pitch
and demonstration of their work to their peers and mentors.
