THE PLATFORM
Support for the whole learning journey.
Imara.Education brings AI-supported learning activities together with everyday school tools. Its aim is to help children learn and give the adults around them a clearer picture of their progress.
For teachers
Learning activities, attendance tools and a clearer view of student participation.
For parents and schools
Messages, announcements and progress information that help people stay involved.
BUILT AROUND REAL CONDITIONS
Learning without
an internet connection.
Prepared learning materials, explanations and question activities remain available on the device. Students can continue working with that content fully offline.
Content updates, messages and shared reporting use a connection.
THE NEXT CHAPTER
A case study.
A first country pilot.
The next phase will help establish how Imara works in practice and what successful delivery requires.
PLANNED CASE STUDY
Lukenya University
Lukenya University will conduct a case study of Imara.Education. The findings will help guide product improvements and future adoption.
PLANNED FIRST COUNTRY PILOT
Liberia
Liberia is the planned first country for pilot rollout, creating an opportunity to understand adoption, offline learning and local delivery needs.
A PAN-AFRICAN VISION
Reaching children beyond the classroom.
The longer-term ambition is to expand across Africa and develop community learning stations and schools for children with limited or no access to school.
That growth will depend on evidence from pilots, local partnerships and sustainable funding.

USD 150,000new donation goal
After one year of development and USD 50,000 personally contributed by founder Leroy Kelvin Aikhionbare, Imara is seeking donations for its next phase.
