Who we are

The digital learning platform for Africa

Learn.ink is an out-of-the-box digital training solution optimised for agent workforces in Africa. Launched in 2020, today Learn.ink issues over 100k certifications every month

Mission

Our mission is to unlock productivity through accessible training

We do this in three ways:

By connecting learning to measurable economic outcomes

We aim to be the most efficient mechanism to connect companies and their workers in emerging and developing economies, driving economic value for both

By ensuring learning is fun, free and easy to access

Our gamified conversational learning experience has been refined through 100s of hours of user testing and is specially designed for users with low literacy and low connectivity

By empowering workers with meaningful qualifications

We ensure every worker has a digital record of their training so they can access future opportunities and get the respect and recognition they deserve

Values

How we work

Learn.ink was founded while we were working with small-scale farmers in Kenya. Our aim was to deliver an amazing digital learning experience to those with limited literacy who had never used a smartphone before. Today our Kenyan team continues to work in close collaboration with our customers and users to test and refine our product. All of our technology is built in-house by our UK-based designers and software developers.

A thank you

We couldn't have gotten this far without the support of some amazing organisations. We were lucky to win multiple awards that supported our work: IDEO.org were our first backers and taught us the real art of user-centric design, the CGIAR Inspire team supported and believed in our mission to build a global platform, and the FAWTech Prize helped us build and test rich, conversational learning experiences. More recently we received funding through Innovate UK and WECA's Business Innovation Fund. These organisations helped us create the mission, the concept and the code for Learn.ink and we are eternally grateful to them for their belief and support in us.
