Challenge
By 2050, 1 in 4 people on earth will be African. Africans and their skills are the greatest asset to the continent to drive the economy forward. Moringa was founded in 2014 because of a disconnect. In Africa, 50% of university students who graduate annually are unemployed. And in Kenya, 1% of computer science graduates are able to find a job in the relevant field and yet tech companies cannot find the people with skills they need.
