MyCredit, Enkisoma sign Ksh.1.2B deal to digitize schools

MyCredit Limited and Enkisoma Africa have signed a Ksh.1.2 billion Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to support the digital transformation of private schools across the country.

The partnership will offer financing options to help schools acquire computer labs, laptops, software and other digital learning tools.

It targets the high upfront costs that have slowed adoption of technology in many learning institutions. Through MyCredit’s Kuza Elimu product, schools will access financing tied specifically to technology assets sourced from Enkisoma Africa.

MyCredit Managing Director Wangaruro Mbira said the agreement responds to a longstanding challenge faced by schools seeking to digitise.

“Kuza Elimu removes the financial barriers that have held institutions back and links funding directly to the technology they need,” he said.

The programme will start with a pilot involving 150 private schools before being rolled out more widely.

Enkisoma Africa CEO Sankei Ole Kenga said technology has become essential in modern learning.

“Digital literacy is now non-negotiable. This partnership ensures schools can adopt the tools they need without turning it into an added burden,” said Ole Kenga

Beyond financing, the partnership includes long-term support to help schools integrate and maintain the technology effectively.

The deal underscores growing efforts within the education sector to expand access to digital infrastructure and equip learners with skills needed in an increasingly tech-driven economy.
