@LakeHub is the inaugural Spicy Awards' Accelerator of the Year! 🏆✨

Still riding the wave from this last weekend where LakeHub was recognised for its contribution to entrepreneurship, innovation and the growth of SMEs in Kenya.

Quite a massive milestone for us, and a validation of the changemaking work we have done and continue to do through our impactful initiatives such as @Zone01Kisumu, Agri-Jobs 4 Youth, Chichwa & FemiDev.

We proudly dedicate this Award to our vibrant community of innovators, dedicated teams, and partners who have committed to this mission thus far! 🥂

Last Friday, together with fellow @WashFellowship alumni, we visited @NicePlaceFound.

@NicePlaceFound is a sanctuary of hope, a safe heaven, a rescue centre and a leadership academy for young women and girls fleeing from the debilitating dangers of female genital mutilation and forced early marriages.

Founded by fellow MWF alumni Nice Nailentei Leng’ete who also serves as the Executive Director, and Elizabeth Soila, the foundation is based in Kimana, Kajiado on the Kenya/Tanzania border. It has trained 1075 girls, supported 350 boys and girls under its scholarship program and rescued more than 100 since its opening in 2021.

I was truly encouraged to see the hope carried by these young girls despite their previous traumatic experiences, and the enthusiasm of the Foundation Leadership & Team.

This visit only left me with one lasting key message; we are the change we seek in the world!

It has been an absolute honor to be the Master of Ceremonies at the just ended 3-day @WashFellowship Alumni Forum on U.S. Africa Commercial Partnerships in Nairobi, Kenya.

Been a pleasure connecting with 160+ Mandela Washington Fellowship Alumni from across Africa, U.S. Govt officials and U.S. businesses.

There was consensus that AI, Digital Transformation, Agribusiness, Minerals, Oil, Gas, FinTech and Health Tech sit at the heart of the future of the U.S.-Africa commercial partnerships.

At @Zone01Kisumu, we are leading the charge as our developers currently work with 3 US Companies in the fields of Data Engineering, Mobile and Web App Development, & Blockchain.

I am optimistic that we will build on the relationships formed during this Forum to scale our ventures.

💯 percent my thoughts. Africa's informal economy is a big opportunity for tomorrow's investor.

It has been our absolute pleasure today to welcome Susan M. Burns, the Chargé d’Affaires (@USAmbKenya) of the @USEmbassyKenya, to @LakeHub & @Zone01Kisumu. This inspiring visit marks a very powerful milestone for the growing tech ecosystem in Western Kenya.
