Nelly Cheboi

Nelly Cheboi (born November 26, 1992) is the founder of TechLit Africa, an organisation that teaches digital skills in rural primary schools, and the winner of the 2022 CNN Hero award. Quotes Poverty has an expiration date. If we give people the right skills and the right tools, we can end it – in our lifetime. I feel so accomplished seeing kids that are 7 years old touch-typing, knowing that I just learned how to touch-type less than five years ago. At one point, I was bringing 44 computers, and I paid more for the luggage than I did for the air ticket. The dreams you have may seem so big now, but you have no idea how small they are compared to reality. My hands are so tiny, I cannot help you, but when I grow up, I'm going to show you the world. My hope is that when the first TechLit kids graduate high school, they're able to get a job online... The world is your oyster when you are educated.
