The Power Learn Project (PLP) embarked on an ambitious journey in 2021, when a dedicated team formulated the vision of creating an organization committed to making tech training both affordable and accessible for the youth across Africa. This vision materialized in April 2022 with the launch of PLP at the University of Nairobi, Kenya. The inauguration was marked by the enrollment of 1,000 learners into PLP's inaugural Software Development Scholarship Program.
Building on the success in Kenya, PLP expanded its reach by launching similar initiatives in South Africa, Zambia, Tanzania, and Nigeria. This expansion was driven by the goal to provide more African youth with access to fully funded software development scholarships. By the end of 2022, the first cohort of 1,000 learners celebrated their graduation in a grand ceremony dubbed the 'The Power Tech Festival' held at the Kenyatta International Convention Centre (KICC) in Nairobi, Kenya.
