African-based organization that provides cloud-based software for mobile
content discovery and delivery.”

un-relenting efforts to seek out partnerships and collaborations with
government, educational institutes and content creators to solidify its steps
in digital education and access.

is an important step in solving this challenge, equipping both educators and
content creators with the tools they need to create and distribute high quality
educational content”. He said.
Reliable sources who have tested the platform attest to
