  "account": "Tatu City, a Kenyan city, has expanded its artificial intelligence (AI) training program to include 100 Grade 7 and 8 pupils from Tatu Primary School. The program, which started in 2025, has now graduated 120 learners, up from just 20 in its inaugural year. The main goal of this initiative is to provide technology education to children in nearby communities, according to Linda Nyaseda, the Chief Operating Officer for Kenya at Tatu City. This community development initiative, run by Tatu Reach, has partnered with multiple organizations such as Food Advice, Power Learn Project, Qhala, NGEDA, and CCI Global to make this possible. Looking ahead, Tatu City plans to scale up the program to train 1,000 learners in the long term. In addition to this AI program, Tatu City has also been running other community projects like free vocational training for over 600 people at the Tatu Training Institute since 2023 and a school feeding program that has served more than two million meals to students.",
