Africa needs more teachers, and teachers need more support.
Teachers play a very important role in the lives of children. As a teacher, there are always notes to prepare, learning gaps to figure out, and a classroom full of students who all need something different.
Now imagine doing all that with limited resources and little support. Sadly, that's the reality of a lot of teachers across sub-Saharan Africa. The pressure is only growing.
UNESCO's 2024 Global Report on Teachers estimates that the region will need 15 million additional teachers by 2030. It makes you realize that recruiting more teachers is only part of the answer.
The teachers already in the classroom need better tools, accessible resources, and support that helps them teach with confidence.
That's where KIYI comes in. We're putting localized AI-powered teaching support where teachers can easily find and use it: WhatsApp!

It also helps teachers reflect on their lessons, identify knowledge gaps, and continuously improve their teaching practice.
Teaching support shouldn't depend on where you teach.
You can be a teacher who works in a well-resourced school or a remote community one; maybe even a teacher in a displaced setting, access to useful teaching support and materials matters.
