- Abstract
- This article, published on September 27, 2023, profiles Selina Wawuda Clemence, a young woman from Mvita, Kenya. After facing financial hardship and losing her jobs during the COVID-19 pandemic, Selina’s life changed upon joining the Ajira Digital program—a collaboration between the Kenyan government and the Mastercard Foundation. Through training at the Swahili Port Hub, she gained essential digital skills. Selina has since become a successful legal transcriber and virtual assistant, earning a promotion to Quality Analyst. This advancement has increased her financial stability and empowered her. Selina now aspires to be a community changemaker and mentor, encouraging African youth to seize technological opportunities and transform the continent into a thriving tech hub.
