A note about the hub

The classroom gives us
plenty to work on.

Borama Innovation Hub brings education and technology together in Borama, Somaliland. Our projects address specific parts of learning: practising English, working through school activities, studying a textbook, or choosing a course.

Some of this work is already taking shape in platforms. Some is still in development. This is our place to show both, and to connect with educators and collaborators who understand the problems behind them.

i. Start with the learner

ii. Keep teachers involved

iii. Build, use, improve
