E-limu, which means "electronic teacher" in Swahili, is an app that aims at making the learning process interesting and engaging for students. It is designed to trigger their interest in the topics they choose to learn about. The app is not just updated regularly, it is also interactive.

E-Limu was co-designed by Nivi Mukherjee from Nairobi, Kenya. The idea for developing the app came to her while she was teaching in poor areas of the city and noticed the students' interest for her mobile devices while they had to study with outdated textbooks. 

There are now 1,000 students in Kenya using E-Limu tablets. The ambitious goal for next year is the employment of 10,000 new tablets across the country.
