Welcome to Padziwe
The home of digital education in Malawi
Padziwe is a Malawian startup working in digital education. Our focus is to help improve education in Malawi by
- Maximizing the capacity of teachers to deliver effective instruction and
- Helping learners attain learning outcomes
Our superpower is in digital content creation. We use a variety of media to design instructional content that is engaging for learners. This engagement helps learners stay glued to our lessons and, as a result, helps them understand the concepts, in relation to learning outcomes.
With over 14 years of experience working in the space, we think understand acutely the challenges that edtech faces in a low-resource setting like Malawi. Our digital education implementation strategies factor in these contexts to ensure that edtech projects achieve maximum impact.
