Founded in Nairobi, Starlite Internet Kenya is dedicated to advancing digital inclusion across East Africa, with a special focus on Starlink Somalia. Somalia faces significant connectivity challenges, with 70% of its population in rural areas and only 1% accessing fixed broadband, as per World Bank data. The National Communications Authority (NCA) granted Starlink’s license on April 13, 2025, enabling nationwide coverage by August 2025. Our mission is to leverage Starlink Somalia’s low Earth orbit (LEO) satellite technology to deliver internet speeds of 100–200 Mbps to urban and remote areas alike, fostering education, economic growth, and social empowerment.
Our vision aligns with Somalia’s National ICT Policy (2019–2024), which emphasizes digital access for all. At Starlite, we go beyond selling Starlink Somalia kits by offering tailored solutions, including solar-powered setups and support in Somali, Swahili, and English, to ensure accessibility for diverse communities. “Our goal is to connect every Somali household, school, and business to the global digital economy,” says John Kamau, CEO of Starlite Internet Kenya.
