Educating an African Girl Child through coding everywhere
In Uganda alone, there are currently, 32 universities in Uganda all accounting for a student population of about 110,000, turning out over 30,000 graduates annually. 8.5 million Are in Primary school according to National planning Authority Uganda. The consequences of the pandemics and epidemics of diseases caused a lot of problems with all these children, many leading to school dropouts and thus affecting the quality and quantity of 30,000 graduates annually. Since there has been increased mobile telephony and internet usage, education of these children can be improved with the use of technology.
We provide the best learning programs for an African child using easy to understand concepts including games, cartoon, pictures, specifying in basic concepts like building a basic website development, basic web programming, Social media advertising, Socket programming and mobile application development
Our solution serves school going children, school dropouts, girls, women and all not formal and formal workers.
Increased learning will enable children to more practical at their future careers since many of the jobs these days require computer skills. There will be equal competition between males and females in the work places as more girls will be getting access to computer skills.

- Enable personalized learning and individualized instruction for learners who are most at risk for disengagement and school drop-out
- Pilot
We are looking for strategic partnerships including schools, education enterprises, learners and computer trainers. This will enable us onboard more schools and academic institutions into our platform for easy access to leaners. We will use this opportunity to onboard more computer trainers and both professional and self-taught programmers from the pool of MIT solve community. This will increase on our trainer’s capacity in form of both quantity and quality. This will increase on our capacity to onboard many learners in our coding programs and sessions including Kid’s coding and women and girls programing sessions and programs. We will use this opportunity to improve our strategic partnerships with different schools and institutions to get access to many students and dropouts and include them in our programming challenges. This will help us scale to all Sub-Saharan Countries in the next three years and will thus will increase programming knowledge access to youths.
- Financial (e.g. improving accounting practices, pitching to investors)
We reach learners, everywhere, anywhere and all the time.
Our model is cost effective as learners can choose the most appropriate programs according to their economic capacity.
We provide weekly, monthly and annual programs where we send coding competitions and coding programs, send applications and select top quality applications that enable even lucky learners without money to have access to our services
We provide the best learning programs for an African child using easy to understand concepts including games, cartoon, pictures, specifying in basic concepts like building a basic website development, basic web programming, Social media advertising, Socket programming and mobile application development.
Therefore, we enable personalized learning and individualized instruction for learners who are most at risk for disengagement and school drop-out
In the next five years, we will empower more 2 million learners in Africa and make them computer usage uptake ready. We will scale too many of the Sub-Saharan African Countries. This will be done through on boarding and partnering with more computer trainers to meet available demand of learners in Africa.
We are also going to increase on the capacity of our server and cloud platforms to be able to onboard as many learners as possible.
We use pre- and Post-evaluation forms to get learner’s expectations and also prove if those expectations were met. We also use surveys and questionnaires
We are measuring inputs, processes and outputs.
We measure and evaluate the number of learners that have attended and graduated. We use feedback where we ask for our learners to provide feedback at the end of every program/session to state their experience in attending programming courses.
We use pre-evaluation forms where we send them on their emails containing questions asking our learners what they hope to learn from our different programming sessions.
We use post-evaluation forms/questions to check whether our lessons met learner’s expectations.
We use a web application platform where we do our teaching from there. We also use Zoom get access to learners. The learner can register through our platform, make payments if necessary and gets a pass code that enables him/her to have access to our coding programs.

We provide equal opportunity for every one including our staff, partners and learners. Women on our team comprise 50% and we make sure 50% of the learners are women and girls for gender balance.
We make money by charging participants and learners where our sessions start with 20 Us Dollars per learner. We charge online teaching about computer, web and embedded programming and socket programming. The home study materials that are online on our platform is paid for by students, patients and teachers. This goes on all the time and onboarding these learners goes on all the time.
We access our market using social media platforms where we have accessed more learners whom we onboard on our platforms. These include Facebook, linked in and twitter. Majority of our learners have always been connecting from Facebook.
We also reach learners directly through one on one.
We also use referrals where one learner can identify and recommend another learner to our programs.
We also do school outreach programs where we reach learners in school
- Individual consumers or stakeholders (B2C)
We will be charging participants affordable payments for proper running of the Organization's work, regularly.These programs include weekly, monthly and annual programs.
We will also be charging schools that give us students for training in computer practical courses.
We have raised over 5000 Us Dollars from direct payments we get from learners and attendees who access our training materials regularly.
We partner with school administrators that provide us with students and learners that pay money to us after learning.
