On May 5, 2020, DOB Equity, a leading Dutch family-backed impact investor in East Africa, made a further investment in Moringa School, a technology learning institute based in Kenya.
The investment aims to help Moringa accelerate its transition to providing remote online learning, a move driven by the increased demand for online learning since the Covid-19 outbreak.
According to DOB Equity, equipping students with the right digital skillset to enter the job market is crucial in the face of economic uncertainty caused by the pandemic.
As technology companies globally soar, the demand for software developers and data scientists is growing rapidly, making it essential for students to acquire these skills.
DOB Equity originally invested in Moringa School in October 2019 to capitalize on the fast-growing demand for technical-skilled professionals.
Moringa provides digital and professional training to students through short and medium-term courses, increasing their employability and access to the labor market.
