A localized, resilience-first digital platform designed to streamline mandatory internships and community service placements, with a specialized focus on ensuring equitable, barrier-free access for Persons with Disabilities (PWDs) within the Nairobi ecosystem.
For university students, completing community service and professional internships is a mandatory prerequisite for graduation. However, students living with disabilities consistently face severe friction finding accessible, vetted, and accommodating placements.
The Nairobi Placement Hub bridges this gap. It directly connects university talent with verified, accessibility-ready local employers and community organizations, ensuring that no student gets left behind on their path to graduation due to data poverty, lack of physical accommodations, or platform accessibility barriers.

- Resilience & Mobile-First: Designed with a lightweight, data-efficient architecture ensuring seamless navigation even in low-connectivity or high-data-cost environments.
- Anti-Scam Verification: Eliminates rampant local job and attachment scams by maintaining an accountable, direct verification loop with trusted regional partners.
