Our Mission
Forezava Technologies is building a digital innovation hub for local youth in Kenya. The vision has been created out of an understanding of ethnographic knowledges in Africa. Historically most skills were transferred through an apprenticeship structure where a learner engages with a specific expert for a period of time learning the trade until they become experts themselves.
The idea here is to specialize a person through relationships rather than the continued cramming of content. We believe in learning by doing, guided by masters who have walked the path before.
Learning Through Relationship

Introducing Ujuzi Hub
A digital platform that connects learners with mentors through relationship-based skill development
The New Friend to Learners
Ujuzi Hub is designed to upskill youth through relationships. The primary relationship builder is the digital platform, which enables:
- Mentorship Matching: Link trainees to experts who guide them in product design, prototyping, building, and customer relationships.
- Active Prototyping: Simplified 3D rendering tools for customizing sizes, quantities, shapes, and materials.
- Digital Marketplace: A platform for youth to actively sell products with customer-driven pricing, design, and color variations.
