What do we do?

👩‍💻👨‍💻Saturday classes for the kids living in the slums of Kibera, Kenya. We focus on coding using @ScratchJr

💵Fundraising. That's right. We need funds to run those classes

🌍Learn from educators around the world and put that into practice in Kibera

[watotocoding @watotocoding]

We're planning for the next 100 years. What about you?

[watotocoding @watotocoding]

Our amazing founder @KyboardNinja had the courage to start teaching kids how to code a few years ago. If you want to start something, have courage.

Once upon a time, we were also an idea. We wanted to give the kids of Kibera the opportunities they had never had. Look at us now. Don't give up.

"When residents of a slum cluster in New Delhi's Janta Camp area heard that the G20 Summit was to be held in the Indian capital, barely 500 metres from their homes, they expected it would benefit them as well. Instead, they were rendered homeless" @ReutersBiz #G20India2023
