The Lions Ukoo
Ukoo is Kiswahili for the clan, everyone who grew from one root. This is the campus and its Lions in one picture, and every box is a door. Dira Portal, the compass, is how you reach all of it.
- The Ukoothe clan, and what it is for: the mission, the motto, the vision being revamped; over everyone, the Strategy and Governance Board, the two directors and the safeguarding committee
- Startup Lionsrunning the campus: Startup Lions GmbH and Startup Lions Assets Kenya · startuplions.org
- Learning Lions · Darasathe classroom: Mobile LEAP, BootCamp, the Advanced Track, the Career Map, TechDada and TechKaka
- Digital Lionsthe fair trade digital agency, where trained Lions work for clients worldwide · digitallions.co
Every box is a door. Startup Lions and Digital Lions open their own websites in a new tab; Learning Lions opens Darasa Hub; the rest open pages here. Orange is Startup Lions and the campus, green is education, yellow is Digital Lions, grey is Lions Strength and the community; dotted boxes are programmes and tools, not bodies. Every page on the portal is listed on How the Campus Is Organised.
