Kenya’s Eneza Education partners Mastercard to launch in Rwanda

Kenyan ed-tech startup Eneza Education has launched in Rwanda, following a partnership deal with the Mastercard Foundation. The new launch is expected to see the deployment of its SMS-based learning platform Shupavu in Rwanda.

According to reports, the offering will enable students remain engaged in their studies while they wait for schools to reopen.

Earlier launched in 2013, Eneza Education provides learning and revision materials via any phone. For seven years now, the edutech initiative has been active in Kenya, Ghana, and Ivory Coast.

Speaking on the development, reviewers familiar with the operations of the startup noted that the company launched its Shupavu platform in Rwanda as part of the Mastercard Foundation’s COVID-19 Recovery and Resilience Programme, which aims to deliver emergency support for health workers, first responders and students, and to strengthen the diverse institutions that are the first line of defense against the social and economic aftermath of the pandemic.

In ensuring the enhancement of education in those regions, the SMS platform will provide access to the “Ask a Teacher” feature where students can ask questions to a pool of teachers and receive responses via SMS shortcode 2910 on the MTN network, meaning it can be used as a revision tool.
