01What it does

eMaoko is a Zimbabwean platform for teaching and learning skills online, from coding and ZIMSEC revision to farming and hairdressing. Courses sit in six categories: Academic Skills, Practical Skills, Tech Skills, Creative Arts, Entrepreneurship, and Farming and Agriculture. The aim is courses taught by local educators at rates Zimbabwean learners can afford.

It is built as much for teachers as for students. An educator creates a course overview, is paid through EcoCash, and works from eMaoko's guidelines and templates with help from a WhatsApp group for educators. Each course then gets its own WhatsApp group, where the teacher meets students, shares previews and answers questions. Teachers can join the waitlist from the site.
