Rise into digital-ready work in Kenya
Inuka helps young people aged 18–35 build practical skills, get real guidance from people who know the market, and connect to verified jobs where digital tools are part of the work — customer support, admin, sales, data, e-commerce and entry-level tech.
Getting started is simpler than you think.
Everything happens on Fuzu
Inuka is a free program built into your Fuzu account — there’s no separate website to join. Learn, build your profile, match with jobs and apply, all in one place. And you’ll never be asked to pay.
Not a tech expert? Don’t worry — start here
Many roles begin with everyday phone, messaging and internet skills. You’ll learn the rest as you go.
A program. A platform. A pathway
Inuka is a free program powered by Fuzu, implemented in partnership with the Mastercard Foundation, for young people in Kenya aged 18–35 who face financial or job-market barriers and want to work in the digital economy. It runs as a dedicated space inside Fuzu — and you access that space from here. Participants get a stronger profile, free learning, career guidance, and matching to verified jobs where digital tools are part of the work. It is free, and no one will ever ask you to pay.

Inuka focuses on digital-ready work — jobs where you use a phone, computer, online platform, mobile app, spreadsheet, customer system or digital payment tool as part of the work. The job doesn’t have to be remote, doesn’t have to be coding, and doesn’t have to be in a tech company.
Online & remote work
Work mainly done through a phone, computer or online platform.
Digital business support
Office or business roles where digital tools are used every day.
Digital field & service work
Field or customer-facing roles supported by mobile apps, digital forms or online systems.
Entry-level technical pathways
Junior roles for youth with stronger digital or technical skills.
Inuka was built for someone like you
Not sure if you qualify? Most people who join Inuka weren’t sure either. Here’s who the program is for — and if it turns out not to be you, Fuzu is still open, and still free.
You’re between 18 and 35.
You live in Kenya as a citizen or legal resident.
You want to work with digital tools — even if you’re only starting out.
You’re out of work, underemployed, or earning too little or too unpredictably to get ahead.
Inuka especially wants to reach young women, persons with disabilities, refugees and displaced youth, and youth from low-income communities.
You’re willing to put in the work: build your profile, learn, apply, follow up.
Only one way to know for sure. The check takes about 2 minutes, and if Inuka isn’t the right fit you can still continue on Fuzu.

Digital-ready work opens doors that stay open. The skills you build in your first role — working with customers, handling data, using digital systems, communicating clearly online — are the same skills that more senior roles are built on.
An entry role where digital tools are part of the work — customer support, data entry, admin, field sales with an app.
Experience, a track record, and skills that transfer: team lead, senior support, operations, QA, account management, specialist data work.
A career you chose. Fuzu stays with you after Inuka — the profile you build here keeps working for you.
Everyone’s path is different, and there’s no guarantee. But every step above is a real route that people in these roles take — and the profile you build with Inuka stays yours after the program ends.
