Eneza Education is an SMS-based education platform for primary and secondary school students, designed to deliver curriculum-aligned learning on basic mobile phones without internet access.

It supports learning at home and alongside school with:

• Bite-sized lessons, quizzes, and assessments aligned to local curricula, suitable for daily practice and revision
• Ask a Teacher for sending questions by SMS and receiving fast responses (reported in under 5 minutes)
• Leaderboards and competitions that let learners compare progress and participate in challenges

The product primarily serves B2C learners in rural and low-income communities, with parents subscribing and teachers supporting learners through the Q&A and classroom-facing resources.
