As entrepreneurs, non-profits, governments, funders and education professionals, we are often pursuing similar goals without a clear way to partner or learn from others on similar journeys. Many of us in the sector are part of informal and formal communities and networks, but some are relatively isolated. We are working to change this and ask you to join us.

We are a group of organizations and individuals: EdTech East Africa, the EdTech Hub, the Center for Education Innovations, Injini, Caspar Groeneveld and Tom Kaye. We came together over a shared ambition to build a global EdTech community that will reduce fragmentation and increase visibility. As professionals in the field, we often struggle to find EdTech initiatives relevant to a particular effort, not to mention specifics about a given intervention. To tackle this challenge, we have put our heads together to create a database that will capture EdTech companies, organisations and initiatives in low- and middle-income countries. Our database builds on existing networks so that we avoid duplication and can efficiently create a single go-to source of information on EdTech interventions.
