About Us

We believe that all children should be given the chance to reach their full potential. However, more than 600 million children in the world do not achieve foundational skills like literacy and basic numeracy – despite the majority of them going to school. At EIDU, we are creating the next‑generation EdTech platform for children who lack access to high quality education that all children deserve. We currently serve over 770,000 students in Kenya and Nigeria, and are aiming to serve tens of millions within the next few years.

In a year‑long randomised control trial conducted by external researchers, mid‑line results indicated that learners that used EIDU advanced their skills 58% faster. We also have fascinating projects with leading technology companies to further enhance learning outcomes through AI. EIDU is funded by well‑known development agencies, foundations, and impact investors and we are about to scale our programme rapidly through partnerships with governments.

With a mission like EIDU’s, diversity of thought and background within our team is crucial. We value those who can bring diverse perspectives to our platform and help us provide high‑quality education to as many children as we can across the globe.
