Who we are

Local problems, built for local conditions.

Ombisi Limited is a Kenyan Information Communication and Technology company. We build software for the way people in Kenya use technology: on shared and low-end phones, on patchy networks, paying with M-Pesa, and moving between English and Kiswahili.

Our work starts with education. With Shule Poa, our free online school for Kenyan learners, students from Grade 6 to Form 4 get short video lessons and quizzes. The Career Exploration Ecosystem connects students, universities, employers and government so that career and course choices are informed by data.

Mobile first

We design for a small screen and a small bundle first, then scale up.

Data-informed

We use AI and analytics to support real decisions, not to show off.

Safe by design

We collect only the data we need, ask for consent, and comply with Kenya's Data Protection Act.

Made in Kenya

We follow CBC/CBE and 8-4-4, use KES pricing, and build for regions from Turkana to Mombasa.

Career Exploration Ecosystem

One platform from high school to first job.

Become a partner

Each year about 980,000 candidates sit KCSE, and roughly 268,700 qualify for university. TVET graduates often struggle because of weak links to local employers. The Career Exploration Ecosystem (CEE) is a single platform that links students, universities, TVET colleges, employers and government. It uses intelligent matching and predictive analytics.

High school students

A 16-cluster career survey with Holland Code and Big Five assessments, a subject recommender, a KCSE course matcher, and KUCCPS deadline alerts.

University students

A verified Skills Passport, skill gap analysis, an Employer Radar and a direct internship pipeline.

Universities & TVET

Demand forecasts, a student pipeline view, curriculum gap analysis and graduate outcome tracking.
