announcementHarnessing digital tools, solar-powered offline tablets, and teacher-facing edtech to accelerate foundational literacy and numeracy across Rwanda.


In short
Many of our schools have no mains power and patchy signal. Our digital work is designed for that reality: offline, solar-charged and light enough for one teacher to manage.
Offline content that works without internet, loaded onto durable tablets.
Lesson guides teachers can follow on a phone, in Kinyarwanda and English.
Solar charging stations kept at the school and looked after by the school.
Reading data that syncs when a signal is available and feeds back into coaching.
Where devices help children read and count, we keep them. Where they do not, we leave them out.

How solar-charged, offline tablets are helping children learn to read and count in schools without power.
