The Goal

By the end of this chapter you will have your own document folder, on paper and on your phone, and you will know which documents a school leaver in Kenya needs most. You will know how to use eCitizen safely, how to let AI turn complicated instructions into a checklist — and how to recognise the scams that target exactly these moments.

Understand: your documents are part of your future

Every step after school asks for papers: a job application, a college place, a bank account, a passport. Searching for them at the last minute is stressful, and a missing certificate can cost you an opportunity.

The solution is simple: organise your documents before you urgently need them. You don’t need special software. One folder at home and one secure folder on your phone are enough.
