INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY AND MEDIA EDUCATION FOR REMOTE AFRICA
Learning Lions is a non-profit organization founded 2015 in Turkana county (Kenya) focused on the selection, education and training of young adults in order to gift them with high value skills in the areas of software development, graphic design and media production.
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.
This is especially relevant in rural areas such as Turkana County (North Kenya) where usual sources of income such as agriculture or manufacturing are extremely limited due to infertile soil and poor infrastructure – but with the chance of having internet access. The skills taught by Learning Lions in combination with the possibility to market them online (Startup Lions), perfectly respond to a growing demand for simple ICT (information and communications technology) and Media tasks for the regional and international markets and the growing awareness of (corporate) social responsibility.
