A million at any scale is such an impressive number, isn\u2019t it? The significance of our million is the fact that while web traffic has created avenues to attract unique visitors left, right and center, the last mile space is a different story. But before we tell it, appreciation.<\/p>\n<p>Super users like Imelda, Simon and Peninah are proof that even without computers and the internet, technology is extremely exciting! They take over 6,000 lessons weekly chatting with our SMS chat-bot tutor. They are the primary reason we work around the clock to ensure a last mile user experience like no other. Without them, we would <strong>NOT<\/strong> be celebrating this 1 million.<\/p>\n<p>1 million requires magic, and 26 full-time rock-star magicians to power the execution of a platform now ready to take on 50 million. Eneza is a movement with a front-line of young, dedicated professionals who are always failing, learning and building on the go-practicing exactly what they preach to our learners.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_7512\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/enezaeducation.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/Kago-And-Toni.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-7512\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-7512\" src=\"https:\/\/enezaeducation.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/Kago-And-Toni-290x300.jpg\" alt=\"Kago &amp; Toni\" width=\"290\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.enezaeducation.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/Kago-And-Toni-290x300.jpg 290w, https:\/\/www.enezaeducation.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/Kago-And-Toni-991x1024.jpg 991w, https:\/\/www.enezaeducation.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/Kago-And-Toni-768x794.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.enezaeducation.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/Kago-And-Toni.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 290px) 100vw, 290px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-7512\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Kago &amp; Toni<\/p><\/div>\n<p>4 years ago our two incredible co-founders, Kago Kagichiri and Toni Maraviglia &#8211; the Techie and the Teacher, observed a need in the education sector. A need that required a cost-effective, scalable solution, that would include the under-served. Our investors believed in that mission before we had a business model and now that we have one ripe for rapid expansion, they are with us every step of the way. Our experienced management team share a desire to transform African education in the millions before anything else, and now we\u2019ve stepped in the millions, so we can focus on the rest.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/enezaeducation.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/Shupavu-Launch.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-7513 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/enezaeducation.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/Shupavu-Launch-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"Shupavu Launch\" width=\"311\" height=\"233\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.enezaeducation.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/Shupavu-Launch-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.enezaeducation.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/Shupavu-Launch-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.enezaeducation.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/Shupavu-Launch.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 311px) 100vw, 311px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/enezaeducation.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/Launch.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-7514 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/enezaeducation.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/Launch-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"Launch\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.enezaeducation.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/Launch-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.enezaeducation.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/Launch.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019re thankful for unique partnerships that give our innovation a global edge:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Safaricom &#8211; Our innovation Telco hub. Other telcos are realizing working business cases that they\u2019ve never considered before, all thanks to the leeway to innovate at home with the company driving M-Pesa. Together we\u2019ve made firsts in subscription billing, last mile marketing and all-you-can-get content for those who need it the most.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Xavier Project manages 8,000 high-risk refugees in Dadaab and Kakuma camps. These digital learners are more engaged on our product than our organic users. They\u2019re proving that the next 10 million can be powered by other passionate partners with an audacious mission and Eneza in hand as a tool for change.<\/li>\n<li>IDP Foundation funded our pilot in Ghana. Our expansion there meant their low-cost schools had a low-cost digital learning tool. In conjunction with Wings for Life Ghana, our content is not only targeting 250 IDP schools. Learners in Ghana, Liberia and Nigeria take the same curriculum under W.A.E.C.<\/li>\n<li>Shule Direct duplicated our model in Tanzania with our proprietary telecommunications, billing and content-delivery technology powering their local content. Tanzanian learners aren\u2019t left behind.<\/li>\n<li>Internet.org are partnering with us to deliver affordable content and billing for smartphones and web-capable feature phones. Who said you can\u2019t mix old-school seamless billing with HTML5 images and video? No one. But no one ever tried, until this partnership!

We wouldn\u2019t celebrate this loudly if it wasn\u2019t the result of rapid growth. Just this year, we\u2019ve reigned in 450,000 last mile users.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re subscribed to our VIP update, you\u2019ll recall our aggressive marketing through our product launch, radio promotions and excellent customer service.<\/p>\n<p>Our three last-mile countries: Kenya, Tanzania and Ghana are now joined by their online siblings: Zambia, South Africa, Malawi, Liberia, Nigeria, Benin, Rwanda, and <strong>Iraq<\/strong>! Our Math &amp; English lessons and assessments are categorized by age on Internet.org and Mwalimoo M. Three weeks later, our smartphone content has engaged over 2,000 users from 5,000 registered users.<\/p>\n<p>With quadruple the number of avenues to transform education (SMS, Web, Internet.org, Facebook Messenger, and Telegram) the 50M mark is much closer than you think. The real work is always in maintaining your users by delivering top quality educational resources to learners. Let\u2019s not forget reaching those who aren\u2019t aware we\u2019re here for them.<\/p>\n<p>The future looks bright. Our business model is <em>turnkey<\/em>, our partnerships are amazing love stories, we\u2019re scaling geographies, and most of all; our learners are inviting their friends! We\u2019re realizing the educational movement that we set out to create 4 years ago.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/enezaeducation.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/Nairobi-Innovation-Week-2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-7515 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/enezaeducation.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/Nairobi-Innovation-Week-2-300x169.jpg\" alt=\"Nairobi Innovation Week 2\" width=\"456\" height=\"257\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.enezaeducation.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/Nairobi-Innovation-Week-2-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.enezaeducation.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/Nairobi-Innovation-Week-2-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.enezaeducation.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/Nairobi-Innovation-Week-2-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.enezaeducation.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/Nairobi-Innovation-Week-2.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 456px) 100vw, 456px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nCheers to a million!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We have surpassed the million mark, at 1,100,000 unique devices on our platform.
