At Asante Africa Foundation, ensuring access to quality education goes beyond geography and internet connectivity. The organization focuses on partnerships that address systemic barriers and provide practical, context-sensitive solutions for both learners and educators.
Since 2021, Asante Africa Foundation has collaborated with Learning Equality, an edtech nonprofit committed to educational equity. Through this partnership, Learning Equality provides digital learning content and the Kolibri platform, an offline-first ecosystem that enables effective teaching and learning without Internet access. Together, they are expanding access to student-centered digital learning in low-resource environments.
The collaboration integrates curriculum-aligned digital content into Asante Africa Foundation’s education programs using Kolibri. The platform allows learners to engage with structured lessons, assessments, and self-directed resources offline, while educators can assign content, track progress, and tailor instruction to diverse learner needs. At the program level, Kolibri supports monitoring across multiple learning sites, enabling administrators to track usage, assess learning outcomes, and strengthen blended learning models both in classrooms and across broader educational systems.
The partnership emphasizes equity, open educational resources, and learner-centered education. By combining Learning Equality’s offline-first technology with Asante Africa Foundation’s community-based programming, it extends quality learning opportunities to students facing persistent barriers to digital access.
Learning Equality, founded in 2013, develops offline-first education technology for low-resource contexts to bridge global connectivity gaps. Its Kolibri platform provides curriculum-aligned content in over 173 languages and supports teaching and learning without Internet connectivity. Through technology, educator support, and systems-level approaches, Learning Equality promotes inclusive, student-centered learning models that meet the needs of historically and systemically marginalized communities.
