Celebrating Impact ๐ŸŒŸ

In Marsabit County, Hassan Abdi Gufu had the passion for content creation, but like many young creatives, he was still searching for direction.

That turning point came when he joined the Ganjisha Content Program.

Through hands-on training and mentorship, Hassan refined his niche, shifted into journalism, and developed practical photography and videography skills. He moved from depending on others to creating independently, growing his audience and strengthening his craft.

Today, he continues to build his presence in the digital space with clarity and confidence.

โ€œThe best time to start is now,โ€ he says.

The Ganjisha Content Program is implemented by Digital Opportunity Trust Kenya in partnership with the Africa Digital Media Institute - ADMI, and supported by Google.org, equipping young creators across Kenya with practical digital and entrepreneurial skills to thrive in the digital economy.
