Piloting in Ethiopian secondary classrooms
Better learning and teaching — even without the internet
Offline-first tools and Melak, an AI-assisted tutor, for students who need understanding and teachers who need clearer support.
Access gaps hurt both students and teachers
When connectivity is unreliable, students lose learning time and teachers lose ways to support them.
For students
Consistent learning support
Clear explanations and practice should not depend on strong wifi at home. Melak helps students understand — in Amharic or English.
For teachers
Visibility into who needs help
Assignments and progress views surface where learners struggle, so class time goes where it matters.
Built for Ethiopian secondary schools — starting with Grade 11–12 government classrooms in the pilot.
How Kasina works

After setup, Melak’s core tutoring is meant to keep working without wifi.
- 02
Trunk — Melak explains
Ask in Amharic or English and get a clear explanation — not just right or wrong.
- 03
Wing — classroom insight
Assignments and progress views help teachers see who needs support next.
