What specific problem are you solving?
Afrilearn is bridging the massive education gap in Africa that keeps millions of African children from reaching their full potential. In Nigeria alone, over 60 million people cannot read or write, and 83% of students fail WAEC, shutting them out of opportunities for further education and employment. Globally, 263 million children and youth are out of school, with Africa being the hardest hit. The problem is not just access to education but access to quality learning materials that engage and equip students with the skills they need. Afrilearn bridges this gap by providing curriculum-based, interactive, and gamified learning designed specifically for African students. With a growing network of expert teachers, developers, and animators, we create engaging video lessons, practice questions, and class notes that make learning accessible and enjoyable. Our new School Management Software goes even further, empowering schools with structured lesson plans, automated assessments, and student progress tracking, helping teachers and school administrators do more with less. By making high-quality education accessible through mobile and web platforms, we are not just helping students pass exams, we are equipping them for the future of work, breaking barriers, and opening doors to lifelong opportunities.

Who does your solution serve, and in what ways will the solution impact their lives?
Afrilearn is dedicated to improving the lives of students, teachers, and schools across Africa, with a focus on remote communities. Students in these areas often face major barriers to quality education, such as overcrowded classrooms, outdated textbooks, limited access to learning materials, and a lack of personalized support. Afrilearn addresses this by providing interactive, curriculum-based content that allows students to learn at their own pace, practice with past questions, and get instant homework help. Teachers, particularly in rural areas, often have limited resources and training, making it difficult to meet the diverse learning needs of their students. Afrilearn supports teachers with up-to-date class notes, lesson plans, and examination questions that help them deliver more effective lessons. Schools in these regions also face challenges in integrating technology due to poor infrastructure and high costs. Afrilearn provides a simple, affordable way for schools to digitize their learning environments, improving teaching and learning outcomes. Using technology, AI, and data, Afrilearn makes learning more personalized and accessible, helping bridge the gap between resource-limited schools and high-quality education. Through tailored learning experiences, Afrilearn empowers students, teachers, and schools, creating a more inclusive and effective education system across Africa.
