American Tower Kenya and ProFuturo have expanded their collaboration, reaching 41 schools across the countries of Nairobi, Machakos, and Kitui. The initiative has so far benefited over 9,700 students and 439 teachers, with the goal of reaching 11,000 children and 470 teachers by end of 2025.
Since its inception in 2024, the project has achieved significant territorial deployment through strategic local partnerships: 30 schools in Nairobi and Machakos in collaboration with Don Bosco Development Outreach Network (DBDON) and 11 schools in Kitui together with the Diocese of Kitui. Thee alliances have enabled a swift, sustainable, and community-aligned implementation tailored to the needs of each educational community.
The implementation strategy centres around strengthening teaching capacities and leveraging ProFuturo’seducational resources.
Teachers have undergone training on platform usage, curriculum alignment, and methodologies for integrating these tools in their day-to-day practice.
Schools have also received ongoing support from dedicated coaches, who motivated and ensured consistent use of the ProFuturo tools, embedding them into daily classroom dynamics.
ATC Kenya, CEO, George Odenyo, says: “This project is a testament to ATC Kenya’s goal of improving quality of life through connectivity. It enhances digital access and fosters partnerships in the communities we serve. By equipping our Digital Communities with the right technology, we’re driving digital equity, literacy, and career development – efforts aimed at uplifting lives and transforming futures.”
ProFuturo Foundation, General Manager, Magdalena Brier, said: “The progress in Nairobi, Machakos, and Kitui demonstrates that no one transforms education alone. The combined forces of American Tower and ProFuturo, with support from Telefónica Foundation and la Caixa Foundation, turn educational innovation into a powerful tool for closing digital and social gaps, something that will directly impact 11,000 children and 470 teachers in 2025.”
