Gender focused institution NairoBits started as an idea child when Emer Beamer and Hester Ezra knew that the ICT space was evolving and could be used as a tool to change the lives of the young people from under served communities. They started a web design institute, where they offered their expertise in ICT and multimedia, to educate and empower the youth. By the end of two months each youth had made his/her own website with self-made photos of their city, a story written about their new home on a virtual island, a self-portrait, a group animation on a self-chosen theme, and had taken part in an online exchange with Dutch students. The youth learned to work with software applications such as Adobe Photoshop, Macromedia Dreamweaver, Microsoft Word, GIF Builder and Netscape. They also learnt to scan, print and maintain the computers. The works made were exhibited in the National Museum of Kenya, this was also the first digital exhibition to take place there. The media was attracted by the story and Dutch Filmmaker Rein Hazenwinkel made a documentary as did the BBC.
