It's a wrap for Cohort 8! 38 tech students from 17 Kenyan universities joined us in March 2024, and all 38 graduated on Nov 16th 2024. 🎊

While we pride ourselves in a 100% completion rate, we are more honored with the impact we've been able to achieve in complementing classroom learning with holistic upskilling. This being a cohort of many firsts where we implemented our new stakeholder-driven mentorship curriculum, we are pleased with the results.

We completed the cohort in style with a retro-themed celebration!

Many thanks to our collaborators and supporters including our alumni and friends, industry mentors, @PurpinkGifts @positivesumA, and SFAI Kenya Prolific.

Cohort 9 application cycle is now open - see pinned tweet for details.

We @positivesumA started on a journey with @ChakulaNyumbani three months ago.

Today, we put a comma on what has been my most daring and fulfilling yet challenging and draining experience this year.

It's been three months of @ChakulaNyumbani!!

Which way next though? In this post, we reflect on what we have learned and experienced, and the hard decision to pause operations.
