Pwani Innovation Week 2025

Pwani Innovation Week 2025 was a week-long event hosted by SwahiliPot Foundation with the sole purpose of encouraging the growth of youth capabilities in the tech arena. We had 3 sessions that we hosted as IOMe254, namely: Product Photography & Digital Alternatives for Entrepreneurs Digital Fabrication Session: Woodworking FabKids: Technology in Climate Action All three were a success, as we had a number of youth coming in who were curious about how to grow their tech skillset, and what they could do with those skills to uplift their lives as well as the lives of their communities. Additionally, we had our Labs Coordinator, Derrick Mugasia, being the moderator of a panel discussion that discussed “Innovating Waste-to-Wealth Solutions and Sustainable Product Manufacturing”, under the topic of “Coastal Circular Economy” that was within the “Youth Agency” Track. Additionally we had our Entrepreneurship Coordinator, Nadhifa Jama, as a panelist on a discussion revolving around “Nurturing Youth-Led Startups & Social Enterprises for Pwani’s Needs”.

Policy Dialogue: British Council X Nairobits Trust

At the Policy Dialogue Event, held collaboratively by the SIDP (Skills for Inclusive Digital Participation) Project (via British Council) and Nairobits Trust, I.O.Me254 joined leaders from across different sectors in Mombasa. The Skills for Inclusive Digital Participation works on giving digitally excluded individuals the opportunity to build their skills so as to access digital opportunities. These digitally excluded individuals include women, the youth, differently-abled individuals as well as underprivileged individuals. The event encompassed discussions on. how to turn digital literacy into real, inclusive impact in Mombasa, based on the project implemented earlier this year by the British Council and Nairobits Trust in conjunction with I.O.Me254, A.P.D.K, Government of Kenya and other key stakeholders. We ended the day with a clearer way forward into the next year, with more potentially-impactful implementation tactics.   Lets all play our part and help turn digital skills into sustainable livelihoods, especially for the youth, women, and persons with disabilities.
