About Efiwe
Efiwe is a mobile-first, AI-powered coding education platform that enables anyone to learn how to code directly on their smartphone. No laptop is required, no constant internet connection is needed, and no prior coding experience is necessary. Launched in August 2025, Efiwe was built on a single core belief: talent is everywhere, but opportunity is not.
Since launch, Efiwe has reached over 20,000 learners across 157 countries, supports 246 languages plus sign language, and offers a complete eight-course curriculum spanning HTML, CSS, JavaScript, Tailwind, Python, SQL, PHP, and Prompt Engineering. All of it is entirely free, entirely offline-capable, and entirely on a smartphone. The platform is also accessible via WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger, Telegram, and even basic feature phones through Efiwe Zero, an SMS-based learning bot.

The Opportunity
This call follows the success of Efiwe's pilot programs, including a Teach For Nigeria collaboration across 10 schools in Lagos and Ogun State, and a newly launched partnership with the Lagos State Government's Education District IV covering 5 government senior secondary schools.
We are now looking to expand this model to new countries and communities that face similar barriers: limited access to laptops, unreliable or expensive internet, and language exclusion from existing tech education resources.
Who Can Apply
We welcome applications from organizations working directly with learners:
Secondary schools and school districts or education authorities.
NGOs and youth-serving organizations.
Bootcamps and vocational training programs.
Community-based organizations and social enterprises.
Government ministries or departments of education.
Priority will be given to organizations serving learners in low-connectivity, low-resource, or historically excluded communities across Africa, Asia, Latin America, and the Caribbean.
What Implementation Partners Receive
Free access to the full curriculum (HTML, CSS, JavaScript, Tailwind, Python, SQL, PHP, Prompt Engineering) for all enrolled learners.
A Group Account with a centralized admin dashboard to monitor learner progress and performance.
Access to Efiwe's AI tutor, available both online and fully offline, so learning continues regardless of connectivity.
Native-language support across 246 languages plus sign language.
No-cost onboarding support for administrators and facilitators.
Access to Efiwe's Open API and JavaScript SDK to embed coding challenges directly into your own platform.
Opportunity to have program outcomes documented and featured in Efiwe's Future Skills Program Report.
All of it at NO COST to your organization or your learners.

What We're Looking For in a Partner
A DEFINED learner cohort. A minimum of 20 to 30 learners is recommended.
A FACILITATOR or point of contact who can support learners through the program.
WILLINGNESS to share basic outcome data, such as completion rates and learner feedback, to help measure impact.
ALIGNMENT with Efiwe's mission of expanding access to tech education for underserved and excluded communities.
