Tuinue Mashinani Community Based Organization (CBO) is a grassroots, community-led organisation based in Ivovoani, Muthwani Ward, Machakos County. Formed by local residents, it responds to the reality that limited access to basic resources continues to restrict opportunities for children and young people in deeply rural communities. Tuinue Mashinani focuses on education, youth empowerment, health, and dignity in a mashinani setting where access to the internet, digital devices, mentorship, and basic learning tools is extremely limited. Many young people are out of school due to financial hardship, yet remain eager to learn, volunteer, and build better futures for themselves and their community. At present, Tuinue Mashinani CBO has no computer. Most young people in Ivovoani have never used a laptop, even as education, jobs, and services move increasingly online. In this context, a laptop is not a luxury, it is access. A shared laptop would enable young people to learn basic digital skills, complete schoolwork, and apply for jobs and scholarships. It would also strengthen the CBO’s ability to keep records, plan activities, and report transparently to partners. This single tool would help bridge the gap between potential and opportunity, ensuring that where a young person is born does not determine how far they can go.
