She believes this will result in a positive outcome in Africa that touches not only socioeconomic development but also humanity. Jennifer has spent over 10 years working in the child development sector on an array of community, district, national and international projects. In 2017, Jennifer founded Mtoto News, an online platform to improve the lives of children through technology.

Assembly Fellowship Project:
More and more children globally have access to the Internet, but not all access is equal. Jennifer Kaberi aims to address issues of connectivity and digital literacy in Sub-Saharan Africa with a proposed platform called Izwi. Meaning “voice” in Shona, Izwi is a platform where children across the continent can communicate and express themselves in a safe online space, giving them the tools to better understand the increasingly digital world. During her time with RSM, Jenny worked closely with experts in the field to develop a framework for this new product, putting forth an initial business plan for launch.
