The Digibots
Digital Education
The DigiBot addresses the challenge of limited access to digital education in Africa by leveraging WhatsApp to deliver digital skills training. Our solution caters to young Africans, aiming to bridge the digital divide and empower them with essential skills for the digital economy. Our impact includes reaching over 800,000 learners, with a 62% course completion rate By making education accessible through a widely-used platform, we address not only educational barriers but also contribute to solving broader humanitarian issues like unemployment, which is often a root cause of food insecurity, crime and early teen pregnancy
