OverviewContributors

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.

Description

Moringa School currently offers a full-time, 5-month course. The first part is Prep, which is a 5-week full-time fundamentals of programming course, and the second part is Core, a 15-week full-time advanced programming course that has a 95% job placement rate. Moringa’s aim is to expand our course offerings so we can impact thousands more lives and continue to offer personalized courses to our alumni and the current workforce to build their capacity based on employer needs.
