🇰🇪 Africa Day: Investing in the FutureAt Ukia Girls Secondary School in Kenya, Africa Day is more than just a celebration, it’s a call to action.Mr. Philip Ngumbi, the school’s dedicated ICT teacher, recently led a full-class lesson using a Camara Education laptop. With students gathered around the projected screen, you could see the impact of technology in real time: learning came alive, questions flowed, and curiosity sparked.This is the power of support from organisations and donors.Across Kenya, access to computers and digital resources remains limited, particularly in rural schools. Yet the potential is immense. Technology enables students to think critically, explore global knowledge, and gain essential skills for a modern world. For teachers, it’s a powerful tool to enhance learning and reach more students effectively.To our friends and partners: investing in education across Africa, especially in underserved areas, means changing lives, one classroom at a time. These students aren’t just learning; they’re preparing to lead.#AfricaDay #CamaraEducation #DigitalInclusion #EducationInKenya #InvestInEducation #TechForGood #FutureLeaders ... See MoreSee Less

Last week, our leadership team visited Huruma Mixed Secondary School in Nairobi, where we had meaningful engagements with teachers about the Camara AI Assistant, a first-of-its-kind offline AI tool designed for education in underserved environments.This tool allows teachers to upload digital curriculum content and generate lesson plans, quizzes, and teaching aids, all without relying on internet access. Under appropriate supervision, students can also use the tool to obtain personalised learning experiences, dig deeper into subjects, and have a more interactive relationship with topics of interest.We're inspired by the school’s staff, who are eager to integrate new technologies despite the challenges of limited infrastructure.#AIinEducation #DigitalEquity #CamaraOfflineAI #TeachingWithTech ...

Last week, Cormac Lynch, Camara Education founder and chair of the Board of Trustees, together with Mikiyas Woldeyesus, Country Director, Camara Education Ethiopia, and Johnstone Muchiri, Country Director, Camara Education Kenya, visited and engaged with Dell Technologies Nairobi-based team.We showcased the Camara AI Assistant, an offline AI-powered tool designed to transform learning in schools with limited internet connectivity. All models are fully offline, enabling AI-informed assistance to be offered in classrooms where there is limited or no access to the internet. This innovation supports educators by generating curriculum-based lesson plans, presentations, and quizzes, freeing up valuable teaching time. Under appropriate supervision, students can also use the tool to obtain personalised learning experiences, dig deeper into subjects, and have a more interactive relationship with topics of interest.Dell is a key partner in our STEM STEPS Project, and through this partnership we’ve so far supported 58 schools across 5 counties in Kenya.Thank you to our partners at Dell for your continued commitment to digital equity and learning innovation!#AIinEducation #DigitalEquity #CamaraOfflineAI #DellTechnologies #CamaraEducation ...

Last week, on Thursday, 15 May 2025, we were honoured to meet with officials at Kenya’s Ministry of Education to showcase the Camara AI Assistant, a new offline AI tool designed to support teaching in remote and under-resourced schools.The assistant enables educators to create lesson plans, quizzes, and teaching materials aligned with the national curriculum, all without the need for internet connectivity. With appropriate supervision, students can also use the tool to access personalised learning, explore topics in greater depth, and engage more interactively with subject matter.These discussions mark an important step as we explore opportunities to scale equitable, technology-enabled education across Kenya and beyond.#AIinEducation #CamaraOfflineAI #DigitalInclusion #EducationPartnerships #CamaraEducation #MoEKenya #PublicPrivatePartnership ...

Today, on the World Day for Cultural Diversity for Dialogue and Development, we recognise the importance of cultural diversity as a driver of development, innovation, and mutual understanding.At Camara Education, we work across a range of cultural contexts, and we see first-hand the value of respecting and embracing different perspectives. In our efforts to improve digital education and equip young people with the tools to thrive, fostering dialogue and inclusion remains central to our approach.This day is a timely reminder of the need to bridge gaps between cultures—through education, technology, and open communication. By supporting learning environments that are inclusive and reflective of the communities they serve, we can help build a more equitable and interconnected world.#CulturalDiversity #DialogueAndDevelopment #camaraeducation ...
