Ujiajiri helps young people gain real-world experience while helping SMEs grow through digital skills and innovation.
We solve the disconnect between young people seeking experience and SMEs needing support
Young Kenyans have skills but no real-world portfolio to show employers. Theory alone doesn't land jobs.
7.4 million SMEs in Kenya need digital support to grow, but hiring is expensive and risky.
Supervision, feedback, and real client work build confidence and professional skills that training alone can't.
Ujiajiri bridges this gap through supervised, outcome-based placements where youth deliver real value and SMEs get quality support—100% free for both sides.
