Background

Camara Education is a registered charity in the US, Ireland, and the UK that supports a network of education hubs in Ethiopia, Kenya, Tanzania, and Zambia.

We work with educational institutions to support them in integrating technology to deliver better educational outcomes; better grades and 21st century skills. Since 2005, we have installed Digital Learning Centres in over 13,000 schools, trained 115,000 teachers how to use the DLCs and provided digital literacy opportunities to almost 5 million children.

We believe better education means better life opportunities for children. We are dedicated to delivering real impact through technology by inspiring and empowering a young generation to improve their own life opportunities.

Our mission is to transform education using technology to empower disadvantaged students.

Our vision is a world-class technology-enabled education accessible to all.

Camara has built a proven model of ‘education delivery’ that is both sustainable and highly scalable. Each Camara entity operates as a social enterprise designed to serve local market needs through a sustainable business model.
