Care
Digital Literacy
Coding is a basic literacy in the digital age, and it is important for kids to understand and be able to work with and understand the technology around them.Having children learn coding at a young age prepares them for the future.Coding helps children with communication, creativity, math, writing, and confidence.
Mentorship
We conduct mentorship sessions between volunteer trainers and our students, this helps to provide encouragement and guidance and also gives the students an opportunity to share their challenges and seek help when need arises. We have also observed an improvement on self-esteem, discipline and school performance after mentorship sessions.

Who We are
CodeYetu is a community-based organization founded in July 2018.
We teach children in children’s homes how to code. We believe that each child, given an equal or some level of opportunity, can not only utilize their potential but is also able to see the possibilities of what their lives could become.

Web/App Development
App development using teen friendly apps such as thunkable and MIT app inventor come in handy when introducing app development to students. It helps them to explore all mobile phone features and create fully functional apps.
Robotics
Robots are quickly replacing manual, repetitive human tasks, they represent the future of work in the 4IR. We offer robotics classes where students get to design and create robots simulating solutions to real world problems.
Gaming
Research shows that 91% of kids between ages 2 to 17 years play video games in one form or another. We aim to teach our students to be creators, innovators and help them create games simulating their own environment.
Make Art
We use simple drag and drop techniques for beginner students which helps them learn JavaScript. With simple commands they can explore their imagination and create art using code.

Saturday Coding Sessions
Every Saturday we conduct 2-hour coding sessions in various Children Homes within Nairobi and Kibera slums. We have a set of classes for young ones between 7 to 10 years, 11 to 12 juniors’ class and 12 to 16 seniors’ class. We explore coding challenges from basic to advanced levels.
Code for Charity Sessions
We host online quarterly code for charity sessions where we invite partner’s and friend’s kids to join our online classes with students from various homes at a small fee. Events proceeds are then donated to the various Children’s homes that we support.
Mentorship Sessions
Most of the students enrolled in our program are teenagers. We conduct in person mentorship sessions where we discuss the various challenges the students might be facing at home and school, share tips on how to manoeuvre life challenges and set goals and targets to track progress.
