🌟 Empowering Women in Tech: Introducing TechDada! 🌟 At Learning Lions, we're thrilled to bring to your attention TechDada, a female empowerment initiative dedicated to fostering confidence among girls and women in technology, design, and business. "Dada," meaning "sister" in Kiswahili, represents our commitment to gender equality and empowerment. Through TechDada, we aim to create a supportive community where participants can acquire skills, grow, and become professional freelancers and entrepreneurs. We strive to ensure gender equality both on and off campus. Recently, we had the privilege of hosting the Mogila Girl High School, at our Learning Lions campus. These inspiring young women got a chance to meet and be guided by fellow girls in tech, who showcased some of their incredible work. It was a day filled with inspiration, learning, and the exchange of ideas. Join us in celebrating and supporting the incredible potential of women in tech! Together, we can make a difference.

🌟 EXCITING NEWS FOR LEARNING LIONS GRADUATE! 🌟 We are thrilled to announce that Learning Lions, in collaboration with the International Labour Organization (ILO), has successfully implemented the Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) process for our graduates. RPL is a powerful tool that identifies, assesses, and certifies the knowledge, skills, and competencies acquired through non-formal or informal learning, such as work or life experiences. This initiative ensures that our graduates' hard-earned skills are officially recognized and valued. Thanks to the generous sponsorship from ILO, 50 of our talented individuals will be certified for free! This is a significant milestone in their professional journeys, and we couldn't be prouder. A memorandum of understanding was signed between Government of Kenya GOK officials and Startup Lion's co-founders, marking the official start of this transformative initiative. The first phase of the assessment has already begun, setting the stage for our graduates to receive the recognition they deserve. Congratulations to all our graduates, and a heartfelt thank you to ILO and the Government of Kenya for supporting this impactful initiative. #LearningLions #RPL #RecognitionOfPriorLearning #SkillsCertification #ILO #Empowerment #Kenya #DigitalSkills #careergrowth

100km in 22,5 Stunden geschafft: der erste Löwenmarsch Berlin liegt hinter uns! Herzlichen Dank an alle die mitgemacht haben und hinter den Kulissen organisiert haben! Auch wenn die EU-Wahlergebnisse die euphorische Stimmung etwas dämpfen, so bin ich dennoch sehr dankbar für dieses Wochenende voll guter Momente: das Dämmerlicht der wandernden Sonne nachts im Norden über Tegel und Spandau zu beobachten, die vielen guten Gespräche mit Menschen aus verschiedenen Ländern und Regionen, die aber hier alle für die gute Sache und die körperliche und mentale Challenge aktiv waren, die vielen gutgelauntem und motivierenden Helfer und Unterstützer auf und abseits der Strecke, und nicht zuletzt auch für unser Team und die Studenten von Learning Lions in Kenia, bei dem ich weiß dass es sich lohnt sich diese 100km Anstrengung aufzubürden und um Spenden zu werben. Schaffen wir noch unser Spendenziel im ersten Jahr von 30k€? Falls ihr IT Ausbildung und Aufbau digitaler Jobs im ländlichen Afrika unterstützen wollt, wir freuen uns sehr: https://lnkd.in/ewMxWifE Riesen Dank an das Orga und Helferteam, die Stationspartner und Sponsoren, und alle Läufer!

We are super proud of our Mobile LEAP graduates 👏
Meet Tony Otieno and Braxton Lumbasi, the first alumni of our program. We met Tonny and Braxton while they were in their second year of high school. Their passion for coding and technology was evident from the start, and their dedication throughout their learning journey has been truly inspiring. After high school, we supported them in applying to Tunapanda Institute, where they delved deeper into Tech Design and Business. In just six weeks, they graduated from Tunapanda, equipped with valuable skills for their future. Today, we are thrilled to share that Tonny and Braxton have been awarded the PLP Software Development Scholarship by the Power Learn Project. As part of our commitment to their continued success, Code With Kids will be providing them with laptops to support their ongoing learning journey. These laptops were generously donated to Code With Kids by CodeDay. CodeDay is a non-profit providing welcoming, hands-on opportunities for under-served students to explore a future in tech and beyond. Congratulations to Tonny and Braxton! We are incredibly proud of your achievements and look forward to seeing where your journey takes you next. Code With Kids Empowering the next generation of innovators One Code at a Time. #CodeWithKids #TunapandaInstitute #PLPScholarship #TechEducation #FutureCoders #CodeDay #SupportingSuccess #TechForGood
