DigiKen Monitoring Visit at Swahilipot Hub Foundation

Today, we had the privilege of welcoming a high-level delegation from ACTS and UN Women to Swahilipot Hub Foundation for a monitoring visit under the DigiKen Programme.

The visit provided an opportunity to showcase the impact of our digital empowerment initiatives through a guided Hub tour, the DigiKen MSME Innovation Showcase, a live DigiKen workshop, and a panel discussion on Digital Inclusion in the Current Age.

More importantly, the visit highlighted inspiring stories of young people and entrepreneurs who are leveraging digital skills to innovate, grow their businesses, access new opportunities, and build sustainable livelihoods.

At Swahilipot Hub Foundation, we believe that digital inclusion is key to unlocking opportunities for all. Through partnerships like DigiKen, we continue to equip communities with the skills, knowledge, and tools needed to thrive in an increasingly digital world.

A standout moment was the winning team behind "Tulia Mum", an innovation designed to support expectant mothers experiencing postpartum depression. A powerful reminder of how locally grounded ideas can address deeply human challenges with empathy and impact.

This year’s theme, “AI for Development: Girls Shaping the Future,” felt especially fitting. Because these are not girls waiting for the future, they are already shaping it, right now, with a laptop and problems they have chosen to solve.#GirlsinICT
