Jarida is an open-source community co-managed by Liz Wangui (@kui29) and Jerry Ochieng (@JERRYFROMKENYA).
We provide solutions to global problems, with a primary focus on Africa, while empowering African talent to grow, collaborate, and gain recognition worldwide.
Our inaugural open-source product is the Kenyan Sign Language Translator — the first of many impactful projects to come.
To create and share open, innovative, and practical software that addresses real-world problems while enabling African and global developers to showcase their talent on the world stage.
- Build for impact, not just code.
