The team teaching Kenya to work with AI.

FuKazee is an AI training company in Nairobi, led by founder Rodney Maina. We have trained more than 3,000 people since 2022, from corporate teams to postgraduates and KCSE candidates.

Who founded FuKazee?

Rodney Maina has run FuKazee's training since 2022. He launched the FuKazee brand in 2024 and is Director of FuKazee Limited, incorporated on 14 May 2026. He studied Journalism and Mass Communication at the University of Nairobi, specialising in Development Communication (with coursework in Communication Policy, Health Communication, and Communication and Behaviour Change), and graduated with First Class Honours.

At university he held leadership roles at AIESEC, including Vice President of University & Alumni Relations, where he learnt to lead an organisation and work with its stakeholders. After graduating he went into growth marketing at Shukran, a digital tipping FinTech serving Nairobi's hospitality sector, and built growth strategy at startup speed.

Teaching was what he kept coming back to, and in the end it pulled him off the corporate marketing track. He left Shukran to start FuKazee, turning his interest in education and technology into a full-time company built on one belief: AI only matters when ordinary people (students, researchers, employees) can use it on the work in front of them, honestly and well.

Rodney still teaches in every programme.

Corporate sessions, the ScholarShift Accelerator and the KCSE holiday tuition all run with him in the room. That's a big part of why the training stays practical.

“I'm a software engineer, and I don't say this lightly: Rodney and the FuKazee team are exceptional at making AI simple and genuinely usable. We've worked together and integrated their training into our own workflows at fluent.ke, and the results spoke for themselves. He can walk into any organisation and bring people along, even someone who has never created an account in their life, and have them using AI with confidence. If you want practical, no-nonsense AI training that actually sticks, FuKazee is who you call.”

BillySoftware engineer, fluent.keGoogle review

“If you are looking for practical AI training, FuKazee is the real deal. They went beyond the surface and taught me advanced workflows, like leveraging AI directly in the CLI (command-line interface), which was completely new to me. Rodney sent over a comprehensive discovery document right at the start just to pinpoint exactly what I needed. I don't think any training provider has ever paid this much attention to my personal learning curve.”

Where is FuKazee based?

We work from Hack House Africa, 124 Manyani East Road, near ABC Place, Nairobi. The office is open Monday to Friday, 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM, and it's where our in-person training, consultations and physical KCSE intensives happen.

Why does FuKazee training stick when so much AI training doesn't?

Most AI training fails the Monday-morning test: the workshop was exciting, then nothing changes the next week. We build every programme so that something does.

We train on your actual work.

Bank teams practise on banking workflows, researchers on their own literature, and KCSE candidates on real KNEC-style papers. Nobody sits through a generic demo.

We teach the rules as well as the tools.

AI usage policy for organisations, academic integrity for postgraduates and exam-safe study habits for students are part of the curriculum.

We stay reachable.

Onboarding, reminders and follow-up happen on WhatsApp, the channel Kenyans actually use.

Want to see how that works in practice? Read our working notes and guides on Clarity Corner, or ask about a programme on the contact page.
