    The struggles of not owning a computer on campus pushed her to start the initiative, which is helping over 4000 kids in the country and making her a global revered figure.

    The donated hardware is wiped, refurbished and distributed to partner schools in rural Kenya.

    Students aged 4 to 12 receive daily classes and frequent opportunities to learn from professionals and gain skills relevant to their education. 

    Her profile on Forbes states that Cheboi hires teachers and trains them to run the computer laboratories in their community.

    She fully equips them to teach students living in neglected areas. 

    Cheboi explained that she intends to expand her venture across the continent by establishing laboratories to help kids access and learn digital skills.

     "The world is your oyster when you are educated. By bringing the resources and these skills, we are opening up the world to them," she added.

    Cheboi currently serves ten schools and plans to extend to over 100 in the coming years.
