Untapped Global has announced an investment in ElimuTab.

Founded in 2022 by Anthony Kahinga and Grace Wairimu, ElimuTab is one of Kenya's first educational tablets specifically designed to support various educational curricula.

The tablet comes preloaded with educational content, curriculum-approved e-books, and engaging apps that help students prepare for exams, review core subjects, or learn the basics of coding – all tailored to the local school curriculum.

David Kleiterp, co-head of investments at Untapped Global, said, "Our mission is to change the way financing is done for impact-driven SMEs in emerging markets, and today I'm thrilled to share our latest step in that journey: our investment in ElimuTab, a company democratising access to education in Kenya.

"Education is the foundation of economic empowerment, and ElimuTab is tackling one of the most pressing challenges on the African continent — equitable access to quality education. By providing affordable, locally-tailored educational tablets, ElimuTab is not just offering a product; they’re opening doors to a brighter future for thousands of students across Kenya,” he added.

"The future of Africa’s economy lies in its ability to innovate and scale local solutions. With investments like this, we’re proud to be part of that transformation."
