Ongoza Cyber Hub
Multi-country cybersecurity learning platform serving 10,000+ students across 8+ African countries, with mentor matching, certification tracking, and regional intelligence.
10,000 Students, No Central Platform
Cybersecurity talent across Africa was growing, but there was no unified platform to connect students with mentors, track progress, or certify skills at scale.
Fragmented Learning
Students across 8+ countries were learning through scattered WhatsApp groups, PDF guides, and ad-hoc mentoring with no structured curriculum or progress tracking.
No Mentor Matching
Experienced cybersecurity professionals wanted to mentor but had no system to match them with students based on skill level, specialisation, or timezone.
No Certification System
Students completed learning paths but had no verifiable certification. Employers had no way to validate skills or assess readiness for roles.
