Role of AI in our communities
In 2025, SCN Kenya is placing a strategic focus on the transformative—and potentially disruptive—role of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in vulnerable communities. We recognize AI as a double-edged tool: it can either accelerate progress or deepen inequality if underserved populations are left behind.
To address this, we launched the SCN Community AI Survey across all eight regions where our network operates. This initiative helps us understand how AI is perceived, where it can add value, and where it risks widening existing gaps. The survey is part of a broader, ongoing dialogue within our network, where community members actively explore how AI is shaping their opportunities and challenges.
Building Digital Readiness
To ensure no one is left behind, SCN Kenya offers online AI training for NGO staff and community leaders. These sessions equip local changemakers with the skills to use AI for smarter decision-making, improved service delivery, and greater impact.
At our SCN Core partner Mukuru Angaza NGO, Nairobi and surroundings, we have launched an AI debate program with the communities.
Why It Matters
In a rapidly digitizing world, digital inclusion is development. By empowering communities to understand and use AI, we’re laying the groundwork for:
- More efficient health, education, and livelihood programs
- Data-driven decision-making at the grassroots level
- Stronger local leadership in tech-enabled development
Join Us in Shaping an Inclusive AI Future
We invite investors, donors, and tech innovators to partner with us in scaling this work—because the future of development must be smart, inclusive, and community-led.
