This strategic move follows the resounding success of our existing operations, which are already operating at full capacity. This expansion underlines our strong commitment to Kenya.”

As we move towards this transformation, the CCI remains true to its mission to combat unemployment and promote socio-economic progress in Nairobi and beyond. Strategic partnerships with organizations such as CareerBox Africa enable the delivery of digital skills training programs that qualify unemployed youth, especially young women, to work in the BPO industry.

Empowering women in Kenya

The construction of CCI Tatu City had a social development focus involving a female construction team, Buildher – a non-profit social enterprise in Kenya that provides recognized construction skills to disadvantaged young women and offers stable jobs in urban development projects in Kenya. A group of 30 women worked on site during the construction and furnishing of CCI Tatu City, setting a new benchmark for women in construction in Africa.

The Buildher Project aims to bring financial prosperity to Kenyan women, change men’s attitudes and promote gender equality in the African construction industry. The Buildher project is operated by CCI Tatu City developer Gateway Real Estate Africa.
