How we work

Built for real classrooms, by a team that cares about them

Children first, always

Every design decision starts with a six-year-old. Our Safeguarding Policy and Code of Conduct apply to everyone on the team.

Spoken, not read

Soraha speaks every instruction in English and Kiswahili so children who cannot yet read can play on their own.

Offline by default

We build for real classrooms: shared tablets, patchy power and no Wi-Fi. If it doesn't work offline, it isn't done.

Small team, real ownership

We are early-stage and remote-first. Your work ships to children in weeks, not years, and your name is on it.
