About Us

Who we are

AI254 is a pioneering initiative born from the vision of Kenyan university students and supported by a passionate team of technologists, linguists, and educators. Based in Nairobi, Kenya, we are committed to revitalizing the country’s indigenous languages, ensuring they thrive in the digital age while enhancing educational access for all..

We believe language should never be a barrier to education. AI254 aims to:

  • Revive and preserve Kenya’s endangered indigenous languages.
  • Make higher education accessible in students’ native tongues, including Swahili and beyond.
  • Foster global collaboration by connecting students across linguistic boundaries.
  • Ensure inclusivity with tools for students with disabilities, such as the deaf and hard of hearing.

A world where every student can learn, collaborate, and innovate in the language they know best, creating a more equitable and culturally rich global academic community.
