On the podcast today we have Abraham Waita, a Woo Happiness Engineer at Automattic. Abraham is deeply involved in the WordPress communities in Kenya and Uganda and recently spoke at WordCamp Europe. The discussion centers on Abraham's efforts to introduce WordPress to high schools in Uganda, fostering a young and rapidly growing WordPress community through the ICT curriculum. We delve into the community's growth, challenges, and the essential role of sponsorships and hardware donations. The conversation also highlights the broader impact on students' futures and ways companies and individuals can support this educational initiative.
