watobe
Africa is in the midst of an education crisis – a perfect storm of population
growth, teacher shortages, under-resourced schools, and a global pandemic
working to curtail the life chances of learners across the continent. Watobe’s
founders Erik Lönnroth and Henry Warren have spent their careers working to
broaden access to education in Africa, managing private, government, and
non-profit initiatives across South Africa, Zambia, Tanzania, Kenya, Uganda, and
Ghana. They’re passionate about building technology solutions that can overcome
the systemic challenges facing the education sector, bringing world-class
teaching and digital content to learners who have previously been denied access
to such opportunities.
