Checheza
Checheza exists to make great learning games accessible and relevant to kids in East Africa and beyond. Checheza is a platform for quality learning games for children packaged into an app. The games are developed by content partners (companies, researchers), and have already been tested and evaluated. In that way quality is ensured and time is saved while Checheza focuses on adapting the games to local needs. This add-on concept makes our solution very easy and cheap to scale.
Checheza's Story
Our team has conducted extensive research on the challenges surrounding education in low-income countries, primarily East Africa, and how digital solutions are used (or not used) by children and parents. We’ve worked with local partners to test prototypes, interview parents and teachers to understand the situation for different groups, such as differences between urban and rural areas.
We saw clearly that there’s no shortage of educational games, still there is no go-to solution which is well adapted for these markets, although many initiatives are constantly being tested. Checheza aims to become the go-to solution for parents, with a cheap but effective product. Our solution is designed for scale and local adaptation in order to reach an already very large and rapidly growing market.
