Free open-source learning software for out-of-school children ✨🚀
### Purpose
The purpose of elimu.ai is to help solve the global learning crisis—At primary level, 10% of children worldwide are not in school.
### Why? 🌍
The word "elimu" is Swahili for "education." We believe that a quality basic education is the right of _every child_, no matter her social or geographical background.
### How Can We Solve the Problem? 💡
Our solution is to build innovative learning software that empowers out-of-school children to _teach themselves_ basic reading📖, writing✍🏽 and math🔢 **within 6 months**.
A collection of educational apps teaches children foundational literacy and numeracy in a fun and engaging way. This empowers each child to learn fully autonomously, and at her own pace, without depending on the availability of qualified teachers.

The elimu.ai software is a _platform_ of educational content and Android apps.
> [!NOTE]
> It is not one single app; It is a _collection_ of apps, all working together in a holistic manner. A child can make learning progress in one app, and another app will be aware of this so that it can adapt its content accordingly.

### Autonomous Learning
The software is designed in such a way that the children can learn fully autonomously (alone or in a group), without guidance from qualified teachers. Instead, an AI tutor (Nya) guides each child through the necessary steps. The AI tutor gradually unlocks more advanced content, as the child demonstrates [mastery](PEDAGOGY.md#personalized-learning-) of prerequisite skills. As an example; Before learning how to read a word, the child needs to master the _sound-letter correspondence_ of each sound composing that word.

### Short-Term Objectives (2024)
See quarterly milestones at https://github.com/elimu-ai/wiki/milestones
### Long-Term Objectives (2024 → 2030)
In the long term, apps and content will gradually be created for target languages where the number of out-of-school children is the highest (based on [UIS Statistics](http://data.uis.unesco.org/)):
Country | Languages | Out-of-School Children (Primary Age)
------------ | ------------- | ------------:
Tanzania | Swahili | 1,745,627 (as of 2021)
India | [Hindi](https://hin.elimu.ai), Bengali, Urdu | 1,722,440 (as of 2023)
Philippines | [Tagalog](https://tgl.elimu.ai), Hiligaynon | 1,339,277 (as of 2022)
South Africa | Xhosa | 568,104 (as of 2021)
Indonesia | Indonesian, Javanese | 345,716 (as of 2022)
Cambodia | Khmer | 253,273 (as of 2022)
Thailand | Thai | 106,430 (as of 2023)
Nepal | Nepali | 105,716 (as of 2023)
