The youth unemployment crisis needs practical alternatives
Uganda's young people are meeting a job market that still offers too few formal paths, so queues for scarce roles grow, informal work fills the gap, and many sit outside stable earning altogether. We want a future where your skill, not your background, decides your income, and where practical, skills first learning makes that possible.
Youth entering workforce annually
Each year a very large cohort reaches working age, often far more than formal payroll sectors can absorb in the same window.
700k to 800k
Jobs created each year
Net new formal roles cover only a slice of everyone looking for stable, documented work, so competition for scarce slots stays intense.
~90,000
Working in informal employment
Most young earners operate outside formal jobs. Hours and income can swing week to week, with little safety net when demand drops.
80%
NEET youth rate
NEET means not in education, employment, or training. It signals that many young people are stuck outside both classrooms and reliable jobs.
50%
When hiring hinges on who you know or which school you attended, talent gets left on the sidelines. Training that is affordable, mobile, and tied to real income can rebalance that, so what you can do matters more than where you started.

This is the logo from our mobile MVP on a clean white field—the same identity learners see when they open Kazi Skills. Practical learning and earn paths stay consistent from app to web.
AI features designed for access and opportunity
Smart search, sequencing, income nudges, and quality checks use AI in a lightweight way so learners and creators stay in charge of what ships.
Smart search (English + Luganda)
Find skills, lessons, and gigs in the language you think in, without rigid keyword matching.
Personalized learning paths
Your next steps reflect what you finish, save, or skip—not a one size fits all playlist.

Light nudges toward gigs and income minded actions that fit the path you are already on.
AI quality control for content
Automated checks surface unclear or risky material before human reviewers publish.
Quick session nudges
Short prompts after lessons reinforce the habit without long reads or heavy data use.
Humans stay in the loop
Creators and moderators keep final say so learners always know a person backs what ships.
