God bless you for the work you are doing in Kenya. I am also passionate about the role of education in developing a nation however my focus is in higher ed where I too believe urgent transformation is required. I am the founder of Shakili.
Shakili.com is a hybrid learning platform that connects educators to students and by enabling users to set up e-schools and create courses to share knowledge & content. Shakili comes from two words (Share Akili) which simply means “share knowledge”.
Learning, on one extreme is the magic of presence – with peers and professors another is the almost infinite access to peers and experts in the virtual world. Shakili.com blends both and accelerates hybrid learning by taking the best of both worlds.
Through Shakili.com, institutions of higher education can embrace yet another way inexpensive and convenient way of passing knowledge, ease content sharing and networking amongst students & faculty.
