We are extremely proud to have been named as one of ’11 to watch in Global Edtech’ in the Global Good 2017 presentation to the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation by strategy consultancy Intentional Futures.
The presentation highlighted three main factors that negatively affect the quality of education in Sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia.
Mwabu’s tablets are featured amongst the chosen 11 products that are successfully addressing these challenges through in-classroom teacher support or through student-directed learning. These three main factors are:
1. Teacher supply and preparedness
2. Teacher absenteeism
3. Ineffective classroom practices
The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation does impressive work with partner organisations around the globe to tackle the world’s most critical problems and we feel thrilled to have been recognised as one of the ’11 to watch in Global Edtech’.
For us, being featured, not only underpins the impact Mwabu has already had on thousands of lives, it also encourages us to further strive to accomplish our mission ‘to bring talent, teacher and technology together across Africa to make education so good that all learners can contribute to and benefit from a new future for the continent’.
Ian McFadyen, the CEO of Mwabu Zambia, attended a State House trade investment round table on 21st March 2023. The delegation, led by Karen Taylor of Invest Africa, compromised nine companies representing the Energy, Mining, Education, Infrastructure and Logistics sectors, among others. Zambia’s business-friendly environment and stable governance generated much investor interest.
Mwabu is pleased to share that we were an award winner at the Techtrends Zambia Awards ceremony for the Year 2022.
Mwabu was honoured to have been part of the official opening of the 10th edition of the Innovation Africa 2022 Ministerial Summit. The summit was officially opened by His Excellency President Hakainde Hichilema on 16th November 2022. The three-day summit hosted over 300 delegates from across Africa and other parts of the world, the first of its kind in Zambia.
