About C-HOPE
Digital opportunities for the next generation
C-HOPE helps children, teenagers and young adults from the Mathare slum learn a healthy way of using computer technology. We offer a wide range of courses to prepare them for a technological future.
But it is about more than technology: we accompany these young people as they discover the true and important values of life – and take their own dreams into their hands.
Our mission
Education without borders
C-HOPE is committed to ensuring that everyone – regardless of their background – has access to computer technology and education. We believe that knowing how to use computers and technology is the key to success in the modern world.

Build skills
From the basics to hands-on skills that matter in the job market.
