Launched in 2012, Kenyan ed-tech company Eneza Education has announced its merger with Pakistani company Knowledge Platform.
This partnership marks the first African-Asian ed-tech joint venture in history. Eneza Education is known for providing educational lessons and assessments through SMS, web, and Android platforms, while Knowledge Platform specializes in creating digital learning content.
As a result of this merger, more than one million students across Africa and Asia are benefiting from mobile, web, and SMS technologies. Experts in AI, learning technologies, instructional design, and education support are part of this organization.
Wambura Kimunyu, CEO of Eneza Education, commented on the merger:
“We are thrilled to combine our experience in designing and delivering learning solutions in emerging markets. Over three billion young people live in emerging markets.”
“For a prosperous, equitable, peaceful, and green future, there is no greater imperative than to invest in the education of these young people.”
“Our merger unleashes tremendous energy. Eneza brings deep experience in serving the rapidly growing African market through B2C solutions, and Knowledge Platform brings depth in B2B and B2B2C solutions.”
“We have the passion, grit, track record, and capacity to innovate across broad fronts at low price points. I believe we are uniquely poised to serve the massive youth bulge in East Africa, South Asia, and South-East Asia.”
This partnership looks to be a significant step for both Kenya and Africa.
