Lena: champions of education in Africa
Lena is a pioneering edtech company founded by passionate Africans to transform learning across the continent. Our flagship solution, the Lena Learning and School Management System, provides a powerful suite of tools tailored for schools, educators, and students in Africa.
This comprehensive platform simplifies teaching, enabling instructors to host courses, assign work, and seamlessly communicate with students. It empowers learners to actively engage from anywhere and allows schools to efficiently manage classes, resources, and staff.
Lena addresses the specific needs of African educational systems, functioning reliably even in regions with limited internet connectivity. Our solution offers a low-tech, highly effective platform tailored to the diverse needs of African institutions.
It all started from a pandemic!
During the COVID-19 pandemic, schools across Africa faced immense challenges in transitioning to online learning, leading to significant disruptions in education. Many students missed months of learning, and existing tools proved inadequate for effective teaching. This crisis highlighted the need for resilient educational solutions tailored to African schools. At Lena, we responded by creating technology designed specifically for the African educational landscape, ensuring continuity and excellence in learning, regardless of circumstances.
Beyond 2024: looking ahead
While our pilot begins in Nigeria, our vision extends across West Africa by 2026 and to every country across the continent by the end of the decade. We invite you to join us on this transformative journey.
