In many parts of the world, digital technology has become the foundation of education, employment, and entrepreneurship. UNESCO recognizes digital literacy as a key competency for lifelong learning, while the World Bank emphasizes that digital skills improve employability, entrepreneurship, and economic inclusion. The International Labour Organization (ILO) also reflects that digital competencies are increasingly essential as remote work and online businesses expand globally. In places like Kakuma, Turkana County, where unemployment and limited economic opportunities remain significant challenges, digital skills are doing something even more remarkable: they are giving hope to young students and professionals, expanding access to livelihoods, and enabling them to participate in the global digital economy.
