Project Summary

Somoto seeks to foster the next generation of Kenyan creatives. We do this by connecting community-based organizations to creative educational tools. Somoto will be a digital portal where community-based organizations can enhance their creative education programs with a consistent and reliable supply of high-quality and affordable learning tools and resources. We are seeking support from PKG IDEAS to pilot Somoto in our home city of Nairobi. Somoto is also a member of the 2021 MITdesignX cohort and intends to leverage those resources to enhance PKG IDEAS support.
