🌟 #OrgSpotlight: African Maths Initiative Ghana (AMI) 🌟 A passionate group of mathematicians and educators founded the African Maths Initiative (AMI), at the forefront of transforming African math education. Their mission? To build a vibrant mathematical community that nurtures a love for math at every academic level across the continent. AMI’s innovative approach centers on the "Happy Classroom"—a learning environment designed to spark curiosity and joy in mathematics through storytelling. Imagine a classroom where learning happens even before words are spoken—a space that's stimulating, engaging, and welcoming. Here, the seeds of a brighter future are sown. Through this unique approach, children and families experience the joy of exploring mathematical concepts together in a playful, social setting during the crucial early years. AMI’s carefully curated storybooks, filled with math concepts, comments, and guiding questions, make learning a shared adventure for the whole family. AMI also leverages the power of WhatsApp to promote experiential learning, encourage parental involvement, and advocate for the responsible use of digital resources in education. We at EdTech East Africa are thrilled to partner with AMI to bring these innovative numeracy resources to even more families across the region. Discover more about how AMI is using early family math concepts to make a lasting impact in Happy Classrooms.

#OrgSpotlight: Dignitas Project Founded in 2008, Dignitas has emerged as a pioneering force in education, dedicated to equipping and empowering school leaders and teachers who are poised to transform opportunities for the next generation. Through strategic partnerships with schools, Dignitas is revolutionizing education with innovative programs that emphasize instructional leadership, learner engagement, and a thriving classroom culture—all to enhance learner outcomes. By the close of 2023, Dignitas had joined forces with over 1,469 schools and 6,209 educators, positively impacting the learning experiences of 375,498 children across Kenya's 10 counties. Beyond Kenya, Dignitas has also extended its reach, having previously implemented programs in South Sudan, and now supporting initiatives in Uganda and Tanzania, with growing interest across East and West Africa. A key component of Dignitas's approach is the use of WhatsApp to create dedicated peer learning groups. These groups, with clearly defined goals for participants, provide a dynamic platform for sharing resources such as learning materials, tips, and educational videos. The collaborative environment encourages active engagement through discussions, reflections, Q&A sessions, and regular progress updates, fostering a vibrant community of practice. In collaboration with Dignitas, EdTech East Africa is also leveraging WhatsApp as a low-tech platform to share resources and strengthen foundational learning efforts.
