Overview
Yodabox is a startup that believes every child deserves a shot at success. There is a deficit of 65.2 thousand classrooms in Nigeria alone, and Yodabox is on a mission to negate the effects of this deficit the most accessible way possible.
The Big Problem
In Northern Nigeria, expensive education costs prevent countless children aged 3 to 12 from accessing transformative, high-quality learning opportunities.
➊ High Costs: Quality education is often unaffordable for many families.
➋ Poor Infrastructure: Schools lack adequate facilities and resources.
➌ Teacher Shortages: There’s a significant deficit of skilled educators.
➍ Cultural Barriers: Socio-cultural norms limit access, especially for girls.
The Goal
Design innovative solutions that break down the barriers to quality education in low-income regions. Our vision is a world where every child’s education costs less than $2 per month, making high-quality learning accessible to all. The Yodabox ecosystem of products were designed to;
❋ Encourage Parental involvement in childs education
❋ Allow for ease of deplyment at school and home
❋ Allow for ease of operation, payment and update
❋ All while remaining playable offline on TV
