I’m very grateful to Kickstart Kilifi for giving me the opportunity to acquire ICT skills, I had dreamt of learning computer education but due to the financial difficulties at home it was not possible. For me God listened to my prayer by bringing Kickstart Kilifi in Bamba. God bless you.

I’ve learnt a lot in these three months of training at Kickstart Kilifi. I used to struggle a lot when it comes to ranking my students after they’ve done their exams but now having learnt Excel so well, I’m leaving Kickstart Kilifi a more empowered and knowledgeable teacher.
