What specific problem are you solving?
We address the challenge of equity gaps in learning, focusing on children affected by poverty or displacement, learners with disabilities, and those needing skills for a changing world. Globally, 250 million children are out of school, with millions more lacking adequate resources for quality education. In Africa, where we primarily operate, UNESCO estimates 60 million children do not attend school, and many lack access to inclusive, culturally relevant content.
Factors include limited resources, inadequate infrastructure, and social marginalization. Our solution provides culturally relevant educational content through Koyamu, supporting learners of all backgrounds and abilities.
What is your solution?
Our solution, Koyamu, is a digital education platform that provides interactive and culturally relevant learning content for children. It offers a diverse range of educational resources, including interactive stories, games, and lessons, all designed to enhance literacy, numeracy, and critical thinking skills. Koyamu works by leveraging technology to deliver engaging and accessible content in multiple African languages, catering to the needs of diverse learners. Through animated characters and immersive storytelling, Koyamu creates an interactive learning experience that captivates children and fosters a love for learning. Our platform utilizes mobile and web technologies to ensure accessibility across various devices, allowing children to learn anytime, anywhere
Who does your solution serve, and in what ways will the solution impact their lives?
