WHO WE ARE

ABOUT US

Twenty years ago, Anna and Meo built a chicken coop project for widows in rural Kenya — including Meo’s mother. Anna later introduced Dr. Kirkpatrick to Meo, fusing hard-won field knowledge with serious engineering.

Today Manna AI designs affordable AI agents and IoT systems for schools, businesses and farms across East Africa.

Rugged hardware. Honest pricing. Local support.

OUR MISSION

AI agents belong to the people. We build on open-source models. We measure every outcome. Our technology creates measurable change and sustainable growth for Kenyan communities — not extraction.
