Who We Are
Tunapanda is a Swahili word meaning ‘we are growing’. We are a non-profit social enterprise that runs intensive 3-month technology, design, and business training courses in extreme low-income environments of East Africa such as Kibera (Nairobi informal settlement). Our mission is to create environments and experiences that train lifelong learners, earners, and problem-solvers. Our graduates and beneficiaries go on to become successful professionals, freelancers, and entrepreneurs — while engaging in creative self-expression that gives them and their communities a greater voice.
Our Values
We foster to enhance teamwork, both among ourselves and with society. As one of the most important skills in the 21st century, practising and embracing collaboration help position ourselves and the community for the unrealized, amazing future.
Brain and talent are just starting points. We believe that everyone is capable of developing most of their desired abilities. All it takes is sheer hard work and dedication.
We impact the society by creating lasting solutions through innovation. We make use of the internet to learn, understand, share, and come up with astounding innovative ideas that help to make the world a better place.
We respect everyone, regardless of a person’s ethnic group, religion, or any other ethical society difference.
We believe in accountability, in matters concerning the organization and it’s environs. We are responsible to our audience as we ensure they know what activities we’ve been engaging on

With the help of Tunapanda and its partners, KASA is creating open-source micro-curricula to train and inspire kids and youth to tackle real-world problems while also having fun and stretching their imaginations of what's possible.
