The 1 Slum 100 Computers project was a program designed to provide free computer training and entrepreneurship mentoring for disadvantaged youth in the Eastern Nairobi slums and informal settlements, in sessions over a period of 6 months which eventually led to the beneficiaries designing of a profitable computer-based business. At completion of the training and mentorship, each group was then to receive a loan package of basic equipment worth an amount not exceeding Ksh.250,000, for their business plan. On top of that, they were to receive project personnel to work with them for the business development until the loan is fully repaid.
