Head Of Public Fundraising

Details of the offer

About Us We believe that all children should be given the chance to reach their full potential.
However, more than 600 million children in the world do not achieve foundational skills like literacy and basic numeracy – despite the majority of them going to school.
At EIDU, we are creating the next-generation ed-tech platform for children in low- and middle-income countries who do not have access to the high-quality education that all children deserve.
Our platform distributes interactive learning content to students and teachers, optimizes the content being delivered to the children based on their progress, and continuously measures their learning development.
We currently have 390,000 active students in pre-primary schools in Kenya, and plan to reach over a million learners by 2026.
An externally run randomized controlled trial has proven EIDU to be among the 10% most effective educational interventions in the low- and middle-income country context.
EIDU has received funding from Founders Pledge, Google, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, the German federal government and others.
