We're building the infrastructure for free AI education across Africa. We can't do it alone.
Africa will have over 400 million young people under 25 by 2030. Education systems are at breaking point — overcrowded classrooms, teacher shortages, and entire regions with no secondary schools at all.
AI-powered learning can reach students that traditional infrastructure cannot. It adapts to every learner, works on basic devices, and scales without new buildings or bus routes.
Partners make this possible — not through charity, but through strategic investment in Africa's future workforce. The students learning on Baobab today are the engineers, entrepreneurs, and leaders of tomorrow.
Four ways to help build the future of African education.
Foundations, corporates, and impact investors. Your funding directly enables free education for students who would otherwise have none. We provide full transparency on spending and impact metrics — you'll see exactly where every rand goes and the outcomes it produces.
Universities, publishers, and subject matter experts. We already integrate content from MIT OpenCourseWare, OpenStax, Khan Academy, Harvard CS50, Siyavula, and African Storybook — all openly licensed. Content partners help us localise, validate, and expand this foundation for African students.
Cloud providers, AI companies, and device manufacturers. We need infrastructure, compute, and distribution partnerships to keep Baobab fast, reliable, and accessible on low-end devices. Technology partners help us serve students in areas with limited connectivity.
Schools, community centres, NGOs, and government education departments. You know your communities. You have the trust and the reach. Deployment partners bring Baobab to students on the ground — in classrooms, libraries, and community halls across the continent.
Transparent, measurable outcomes for every partnership.

Whether you're a funder, a university, a tech company, or a school — we'd love to hear from you.
