Youths in Kisumu and beyond are set to benefit from a groundbreaking innovation that aims to identify and nurture their talents from an early age.
The African Talent Campus, in partnership with GATES Africa Training Centers and the Management University of Africa (MUA), is introducing a revolutionary approach to education that leverages technology to predict children’s career paths as early as 4-6 years old.
Campus Founder, Prof. Humphrey Oborah, revealed that the necessary infrastructure is already in place to drive this initiative, which he says will transform how parents plan their children’s education and future.
"This technology can project a child’s career 20-30 years in advance, enabling parents to make informed decisions early on," he explained.

The official launch of the program is set for this Saturday at the Campus headquarters in Buoye-Nyamasaria, along the Kisumu-Nairobi Highway. The event will also serve as the Talent Campus OPEN DAY, allowing parents and stakeholders to explore the technologies that promise to redefine education and career development.
Renowned lawyer and scholar P.L.O. Lumumba will deliver the keynote address during the launch, which will also be graced by MUA Vice-Chancellor Prof. Washington Okeyo and senior officials from GATES Africa Education.
Prof. Oborah assured parents that the innovation will uncover hidden, non-academic strengths in children, offering new pathways to success that may otherwise go unnoticed. “These unique abilities have the potential to unlock and leapfrog the fortunes of children, creating opportunities in areas beyond traditional academics,” he said.
Parents have been encouraged to attend the event to gain insights into this transformative educational approach and learn how it can benefit their children. "Saturday is a chance for parents to see firsthand how we’re combining technology and education to create a brighter future for our youth," Prof. Oborah emphasized.
This initiative marks a significant step forward in empowering young people in Kisumu and beyond, with the potential to reshape how talent and career development are approached across the region.
