Digital literacy and education are 21st century human rights.
We are Cell4Change, a social enterprise on a mission to use technology to close the education gap for disadvantaged communities.
We collect smart and mobile devices, and use it to teach learners and train teachers in rural and township communities around South Africa. Like our name states it – we use technology to re-invent education!
We believe that inequalities in Internet connectivity and access to devices should not limit children’s exposure to technology, education and quality ECD content. We are a social enterprise using donated smart and mobile devices to close the education and teacher development gap for township and rural teachers and children.
Mission

Using tech to teach literacy & numeracy
At Cell4Change we use technology to bridge the ECD education divide amongst teachers and children from low income households.
Teachers use technology to bring content to life.
Our audiences
Children younger than 10 &
Their educators
Smart devices are universal tools for connection.
Educators who are tech savvy, understand how to use tech to bring learning material to life and are the key to a quality ECD experience. Our programme provides devices to educators and access to our reading camps, familiarising them with technology and usage within the classroom.
Tech – bridging learning divides
Cell4Change is working with major cellphone providers and the telecomm’s sector to encourage individuals and companies to donate unused mobile devices (cellphones, iPads and tablets). We ensure all donated devices are reconfigured, providing a high quality digital experience to our children.
All relevant ECD content is uploaded via the Cell4Change device for use by learners and teachers. Our content has specific educational goals for children’s literacy and numeracy. It will also host information for parents to grow their tech literacy and basic skills to help children learn further at home.
