Today, we're celebrating two incredible members of our community who finished in the top three at the @AiKenya1 over the weekend, organized by @AiKenya1, @DirectEdDev, and Mercy corps. 🧡

Out of 48 teams that advanced to the final hackathon sprint, @Ms_Wanjiku15 and her team emerged as overall winners with KaLi (Kenya Agri-lending Intelligence), a platform that helps financiers make smarter lending decisions by looking beyond collateral and understanding the farmer.

Coming in third place was @TheeNerdd and her team with SokoSense, an AI-powered SMS solution that transforms complex market and agricultural data into simple, actionable recommendations for farmers on any phone.

We're incredibly proud of @Ms_Wanjiku15 and @TheeNerdd, not just for the recognition, but for believing in their ideas, putting their skills to the test, and building solutions that solve real problems.

Congratulations to both teams, and to @AiKenya1, @DirectEdDev, and Mercy corps for creating a platform that continues to spotlight innovation and emerging talent. Here's to many more women stepping forward, building boldly, and reminding themselves of what's possible.

Rhoda Maina emphasizes that data is only as good as the questions asked. She highlights that data-led organizations often ask 'how many people did we reach?' without considering 'what was the usage?' or 'for whom?' #KenyaAIChallenge2026 #AIKenya
