Mymanga Networks expands affordable fibre access in Kenya
Mymanga Networks, a Kenyan internet service provider, is making a significant impact by bringing reliable and low-cost fibre broadband to underserved regions across the country. Based in Nairobi, the company focuses on deploying last-mile internet infrastructure in rural and peri-urban communities. Their flagship initiative, MangaFibre, is now available in locations such as Juja, Githunguri, and Murang’a, offering speeds up to 20Mbps for as little as KES 1,200 per month.
According to the company’s official website, Mymanga leverages locally designed and assembled network infrastructure, enabling rapid and cost-efficient deployment. On LinkedIn, the company highlights its unique approach: combining open-source tools with local manufacturing to lower entry barriers. Beyond homes, they serve schools and microbusinesses, helping bridge Kenya’s persistent digital divide. Mymanga also runs tech hubs and partner shops that support maintenance and community outreach.

Mymanga Networks matters in Kenya’s internet landscape
Internet connectivity in sub-Saharan Africa remains limited, with only 36% of people online, according to the World Bank. In Kenya, high data costs and poor rural infrastructure pose serious obstacles to achieving digital inclusion. Mymanga Networks directly addresses these issues by building resilient, community-based networks without relying on large foreign tech vendors.
The company’s approach aligns with broader efforts to localise internet infrastructure. Recent industry innovations—such as community mesh networks and DIY fibre models—are reshaping access in low-income areas. Mymanga stands out by incorporating these models at scale while remaining fully Kenyan-owned. Their transparent pricing and ground-level engagement have earned praise from educators and SMEs alike.
As fibre rollout becomes increasingly important for Africa’s digital future, companies like Mymanga offer a model of self-reliant, affordable, and scalable connectivity. While major telcos focus on cities, Mymanga’s grassroots strategy fills a vital gap. It also supports Kenya’s Vision 2030 agenda by enhancing education and entrepreneurship in remote communities.
