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 

  1. Maximizing the capacity of teachers to deliver effective instruction and 
  2. 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.
