ENGAGE is proud to work with Baraka Healthnet in supporting their commitment to transforming lives through compassionate, community-centred care.

Over the next six weeks, our trainees will be based in Mathare, where they will have the opportunity to engage with community-level health data and work alongside the team at Baraka Health Net to identify gaps, discover insights and explore innovative, data-driven solutions that can support better health outcomes and service delivery within the community.

Many thanks to the team at Baraka Health Net for welcoming our team so graciously and for providing our trainees with this enriching experience.

We are pleased to continue our engagement with Beacon of Hope Africa as an internship site for ENGAGE trainees in 2026.

Over the next six weeks, our trainees, who have completed a month-long training in Data Science, AI and Machine Learning, will have the opportunity to apply their skills in a real-world healthcare environment.

Working with hospital data, they will analyse patterns and trends, identify opportunities for improvement, and explore innovative, data-driven solutions to real-world challenges using Data Science, AI and Machine Learning approaches.

We would like to thank the entire team at Beacon of Hope Hospital for recognizing the growing role of AI and Data Science in healthcare and everyday work, and, more importantly, for trusting our trainees with the opportunity to contribute their skills towards improving healthcare in their community.

We are excited to share that Partners for Health and Development in Africa (PHDA) and the ENGAGE Project will collaborate to explore how Data Science, Artificial Intelligence, and Machine Learning can be applied to address public health challenges and strengthen the quality of healthcare delivery.

Our trainees will undertake a six-week internship working closely with teams at PHDA’s clinics in Nairobi C*D and Kariobangi. Through this collaboration, they will have an opportunity to apply their skills to real-world healthcare challenges, work with data, and explore innovative, data-driven solutions to support service delivery.

We are excited to see the ideas and solutions that emerge from this collaboration and wish our trainees all the very best as they begin this new phase of their ENGAGE journey.

We are incredibly proud to celebrate Ruth Wekesa, one of the ENGAGE 2026 cohort beneficiaries, for securing an opportunity at Mombasa Cement Limited.

Ruth was undertaking her training at Pwani University when she was invited to interview for the position of Central Control Room Operator at Mombasa Cement Limited. During the interview, the panel inquired about her knowledge of machine learning concepts—a skill they were keen to bring on board.

Drawing on the knowledge and skills she had gained through her ENGAGE training in Data Science, AI and Machine Learning, Ruth impressed the panel and was offered an opportunity to train at Mombasa Cement, with the possibility of employment upon successful completion of her training.

We take this opportunity to congratulate Ruth on her new journey. Her milestone affirms the need to continue empowering young women with AI and data science skills to seize opportunities, as the demand for AI-skilled personnel continues to grow.
