Karibuni sana, Meshack and Benson, we are excited to have you on board!
She is not just part of the journey. She is driving it.
Today, on International Womenโs Day, we celebrate the women powering our mission at BasiGo.
Across engineering, service, operations, and beyond, women across our teams are helping shape the future of clean public transport in Africa.
On our series, we spotlight the women behind this journey ; their leadership, stories, and impact.
Today, meet Njoki Waititu, one of the women whose work propels BasiGo forward.

School of the Nations has become the first school in Kenya to acquire an electric school bus, setting a new benchmark for sustainable student transport. The 25-seater BYD electric bus, imported by BasiGo in 2023, has proven its durability over three years in Nairobi's public transport system. Now refurbished to near-new condition, it is the first of 11 electric vehicles that will transition the school's entire fleet to electric by 2026.
To bring more affordable electric bus options to the market, BasiGo is now refurbishing public transport electric buses into near-new condition that meet regulatory and safety requirements, and offering them at a significantly lower cost to entities that are unable to afford brand new electric buses.
BasiGo will install dedicated charging infrastructure at the school, provide discounted charging access at depots, and deliver end-to-end service and maintenance to guarantee optimal performance.
This first electric school bus will be supplemented with 10 BasiGo Ma3E electric vans in the coming months. Read more here :https://lnkd.in/eviYYQcW
At BasiGo, we believe opportunity begins with access; access to inspiration, real-world experience, and a clear vision of what the future can hold.
We recently hosted Ashley Momanyi Kerubo, one of Kenyaโs top 2025 KCSE students, who aspires to pursue a career in mechatronics engineering. Over two days, Ashley immersed herself in our operations , engaging with our engineers and leadership team, and experiencing electric bus assembly, telematics, and charging infrastructure firsthand.
Before this visit, Ashley had met only one mechatronics engineer, yet her ambition was unwavering. What she lacked was not drive, but exposure.
As we continue opening our doors to young women like Ashley, we hope to help bridge the gap between aspiration and access , empowering more young women to see themselves shaping the future of science and technology.
