powerful ripple effect
OUR MODEL
We recruit, highly motivated, self-driven young women between the ages of 19-24 from underserved communities.
We employ project-based learning and are committed to providing a solid technical skills training foundation.
There is a huge emphasis on the leadership of self and others, we want to ensure that we build up their interpersonal skills, critical skills, creative skills, and leadership skills.
The students also spend 1 month in out of class community service to encourage and build a spirit of giving back to the community.

US$ 350 The average monthly salary of codeHive graduates. An income which is higher than 54% of Kenya’s formally employed population.

We want companies to always think of AkiraChix when they think about tech talent, software developers (junior, intermediate and senior-level) graphic designers, hardware & electronics experts, quality assurance testers, DevOps, tech support or QA.
