Greetings Team,

As the Celo Kenya ecosystem continues to grow, it is important to explore and encourage the development of projects that have a positive impact on the society. The "Celo Community Code Jams'' aims to bring together developers, designers, and other creatives to build innovative projects that leverage the Celo blockchain. The CodeJam will provide a space for developers, designers, and entrepreneurs to come together and collaborate on building new and innovative solutions that can help to make financial services more accessible and inclusive. By bringing together a diverse range of participants, the CodeJam will seek to foster creativity and encourage the development of new ideas that may not have been possible otherwise, this will in turn help to accelerate the development of new solutions that are aligned with Celo's mission.
