The SPiiKApp Story
Africa is a beautiful continent with beautiful cultures and languages, with over 2,000 active languages, Africa is the most linguistically diverse place on earth. Sadly, these beautiful languages are dying a slow death. SPiiKApp is a language learning App that is focused on helping preserve African languages and culture by making them fun and easy to learn online.
We are giving a voice to so many African languages you couldn't find on Duolingo or any other mobile App, we are also infusing unique cultural elements of the native speakers of all our languages in order to give a rich language learning experience.
For people of African descent living outside the continent, SPiiKApp is a unique way to reconnect with the spirit of the continent and the roots through language. Our learners get three main things,:
1. Live online sessions with native teachers
2. An engaging suite of practice activities
3. Connections to a community of native speakers with whom learners can practice.
What We Need & What You Get
We are raising $10,000 to enable us to finish our App and make 20 African languages available in the first year. When you give to this cause, you don't only get some African language lessons that you can take yourself or gift to someone, you also bring e-learning to rural kids.
If we don't reach our goal, we will not be able to make 20 languages available. Nevertheless, we will still launch with some languages.
The Impact
Over 2000 languages are spoken on the African continent. Very little information is recorded about the rich cultures and languages of the continent. We are building a platform that is aimed at promoting and preserving these languages by digitizing all of them starting with 20.
We are making an impact in education, you can too!
Through our SPiiKA.Community project, we have brought e-learning to over a 1000 rural kids for free. When you support our campaign, you enable us bring e-learning to more rural kids
Let's do it for African cultures and languages!
