FR OUR STORY Company history Back in 2016 when I finished my studies in Nairobi at JKUAT , I found lack of IT training among our countrymen and women who came from the DRC despite having finished their academic training and graduated. We had to share our experiences in entrepreneurship, innovation, technology to enhance our daily life. we decided to come up with a technology Hub like our friends i. Hub in Kenya , so that we can actively support the development of our country and the east region of the DR Congo which was the epicenter of conflict for decades. So I called upon a meeting with various friends who had experiences in IT such programming, networking, telecommunication, robotics and skills in management. Kivuhub is mainly sustained by the cofounders who are providing the necessary financial and material resources. KIVUHUB 5

Competitors and how we differ? FR How better are we compare to our competitors Our approach is to go to target population and adapt our training according to the field reality. We also have high school outreach program which will enhance and inspire more children to use digital platform in they daily life as well as working with women who are eager to enhance their technology skills. In the region we are the only one implementing this approach, but they are other hubs who work as incubator and accelerator such Lumumba Lab, Oreol DRC and Kivu Entrepreneur both based in the DR.
