I am a Kenyan Techprenure - A Family IT Consultant Evelyn Kasina the founder of Eveminet Communication Solutions Limited. I thrive in the Educational space where I train and equip Children and Parents/Guardians on Digital Literacy and Cyber Security. 

I am also a mother of two children and a wife. 

I got the idea to train children when I encountered my son viewing cartoons on my iPad and he would be so swift to clicking the adverts and popups - I was not comfortable with that and I was scared that he would access unhealthy content.  That's how my business idea got born to protect him and his peers.

Funny how I started my business, so for close to one and a half years I converted one of the bedrooms in my house to an office, I would meet my clients in coffee houses then execute my work from the house. Whenever I needed to hold training I would use hotel meeting rooms. What is unique about my business is that I can work from the comfort of my house using my smartphone thus giving me an edge on the delivery in addition to this it is a niche in the sense that we are raising children in the Fourth Industrial Revolution where technology is playing a huge role and the internet breaks any physical barriers

Wow ! my goal is to *Create Digital Champions Made In Africa For The World*

We believe in being a social enterprise where we are using Technology to enhance our lives and change the narrative of *helplessness*,  *over-reliance* to aid, *excessive import consumption* - we are training our own children to be *innovators* and *creators*. Our program seeks to introduce learning technology to autistic children where we have peer training by our very own children thus prompting *Inclusivity* and acceptance of Beauty in Diversity.

The problems I have met are working capital, competent human capital and striking the balance of Work - Life  - family ( as I am a young mother and wife)

The impact Id like to have is so personal - To see a nation that upholds value-based digital citizenship, where we use the internet for good, for development for enhancement.

My vision  - To have accessible and secure digital opportunities for the African child/children

My advice - Believe in yourself, Be genuine, and be consistent - be a leader who inspires others to shine because that's how you grow. when it gets lonely (as it often does) hold the fort because your vision should be as clear as day even when it makes you look crazy to the world.

OUR MISSION

By -
OK CHECK aim to create a multi-platform language that promotes contents on their own local languages, other than using ex-colonials’ languages and promotes cultures and diversity of African and other developing countries. Our mission is to raise the richness of the diversity of those cultures, and examples of success stories that could be reproduced to generate an economic, social, environmental, political impact on their local communities. We believe that ideas are not enough to start something, you need to get the motivation to start our own venture. We would like to propose some tangible examples from individuals, who have been passing through this step, and by their own example and success stories, inspire a whole new generation of the number of occasions and opportunities they could access and increase their awareness of the possibilities that could be offered to them, but also to their own communities depending of their needs. We also believe that everyone could create the...

Gian from Indonesia

Gian  from Indonesia Hello everyone, my name is Gian and I work for Tobacco control issues and also youth participation in development agendas. But I was not always like this. I started as of a very very “recluse” person, also very shy. I couldn’t even speak in front of the public and I didn’t really know what to do with my life either. All I know was I was a victim of child abuse from my former stepfather and my grandfather died of smoking. He had a stroke. And my mother was a survivor. She was a survivor of forced marriage. When I think about it once I thought my life was not that ideal, my life wasn’t that "complete" like others. But the more I think about it, the more I realize that actually, I am a pretty good survivor. I rise up every time that I learned from my mistake, I learned from the wounds that I have, the people that hurt me and my loved ones, and I realized that there is an option for me. There is an option for me to actually, be...
