CIPA Community WiFi is our pay-as-you-go internet service for households, community centres, and schools across Seme Sub-county — priced lower than any other ISP in our area. Because connectivity is no longer a luxury. It's a gateway to dignity, opportunity, and economic independence.
Seme Sub-county is home to over 90,000 people. The majority depend on subsistence fishing along Lake Victoria, small-scale farming, or informal trade. Households here run on tight, unpredictable budgets — and a monthly internet bill from a commercial ISP isn't a realistic option for most.
So families go without. Students can't complete online assignments or access learning resources. Job seekers can't apply for positions or build profiles on freelancing platforms. Farmers can't check market prices. Patients can't research conditions or access telemedicine. And young people — the very demographic that could most benefit from digital opportunity — drift further behind with every year.
We refused to accept that. So we built our own service — designed from the ground up for the realities of a rural community.
Seme is a predominantly rural sub-county along Lake Victoria — historically underserved by major ISPs.
Most households rely on fishing, farming, or informal trade. Monthly fixed bills don't fit those incomes.
Kenya is one of the youngest countries on earth — but rural youth lag furthest behind on digital access.
No monthly contracts. No fixed bills. No commitment. Buy a voucher when you need internet — daily, hourly, or whatever bundle suits your budget. When you don't need it, you don't pay.
We are deliberately the most affordable internet provider in our area — priced lower than every commercial ISP serving the sub-county. We're not trying to make a profit; we're trying to close a gap.
Our hotspots are installed at community centres, partner schools, and inside individual homes across Seme. You connect from where you already spend your day — no need to travel into Kisumu town for a cyber café.
Many homes here have more people than devices. Our service is designed for shared connections: a household, a small business, or a youth group can all benefit from a single voucher.
What looks like "just internet" to an outsider is, in practice, a bridge to almost every kind of opportunity that has been historically out of reach in rural Kenya.
Farmers can check prices for maize, fish, vegetables and more — and stop being squeezed by middlemen.
Households can access health information and telemedicine when the nearest clinic is far away.
Youth can tap into online work, freelancing, and global job opportunities — from the village.
Students can unlock free learning resources, scholarship listings, past papers, and online courses.
Communities can receive weather updates and agricultural advisories to plan planting and harvesting.
Citizens can stay informed and engage in civic matters that shape their communities.
Reliable connectivity is the foundation of digital financial services that rural households depend on.
Stay in touch with family in Nairobi, Mombasa, or beyond — through video calls, not just text messages.
Families who want reliable internet at home — for children's schoolwork, parents' WhatsApp, and everything in between — without the stress of a fixed monthly bill.
Primary, secondary, and college students who need to research, complete assignments, attend online classes, or access learning materials.
Youth taking our digital skills training — and graduates of those bootcamps — who need stable connectivity to deliver client work and get paid.
Institutions that want to offer digital access to their learners and members but lack the budget for a commercial business plan.
Local shops, salons, agro-vets, and informal traders who need internet to receive payments, manage stock, or stay in touch with suppliers.
Smallholders who want to check market prices, access agricultural advisories, and connect with cooperatives or buyers.
Whether you're an individual household, a school, or a community centre — get in touch and we'll walk you through how to get connected.
