About Edulution

We deliver proven, personalised education to the hardest-to-reach classrooms, ensuring every child builds the skills for their future.

What we do

Delivering an education solution where others can’t.

We are here to close the gaps in foundational learning for under-resourced learners across Southern Africa.



We deliver foundational maths and literacy education using offline tech and real-time data, facilitated by local learning assistants and teachers.

A full classroom of young learners in uniform, all focused on their Edulution lessons.
Our Vision

A world where every child, regardless of where they live or how resourced their school, has the chance to catch up, keep up, and thrive through foundational education.

A decade later, Edulution serves over 75,000 learners

Our proven, scalable model significantly improves outcomes and is positioned for potential systemic adoption by government education departments, turning a successful pilot into a common good.

Offline and off-grid, so learners are never off-track.

What makes us different

Built to Reach Everywhere

We believe every child deserves a quality education, no matter how remote their school may be, so our solution works offline and off-grid.

Designed Specifically For Learners

Our passion is to help disadvantaged learners catch up, gain confidence, and thrive. Every tool, session, and learning assistant is there to serve the learner.

Learning Assistants

We recruit, train and employ young people from local communities. This creates a new generation of leaders who carry our mission forward.

Driven by 
Measurable Impact

We have 10 years of data to prove that we improve learning outcomes where others fail. That’s why governments and funders trust us to deliver.
