Explore Hackathons In Kenya, Africa & Online
Every hackathon here has its full prize pool secured in escrow before it goes live, so you can build knowing the prize is real.
Hackathons With Prizes You Can Verify
HackVillage lists hackathons in Nairobi, across Kenya, Africa-wide and fully online: fintech, agri-tech, civic tech, clean energy, AI and more. A hackathon appears here only after its organizer has deposited 100% of the prize pool into escrow and earned the Prize Verified badge. Winners are paid 50% within an hour of results and 50% on milestone delivery, with every payout recorded on a public ledger.
Recently listed: Coastal AgriTech Build (11 to 13 Oct 2026) · Climate Data Sprint (4 to 6 Oct 2026) · Fintech for Matatu Culture (26 to 28 Sept 2026).
