ARES - African Ruggedized Education SYstem

Who We Are

We are a collection of individuals from northwest Washington and Vancouver, Canada. We are all volunteers, so we do not take any salaries, but we do have paid staff in Kenya. We have several major partners in Kenya that include some of the major game conservancies, and a nationwide group that provides education and IT support across the region. We are a non-sectarian organization. 

What We Do

AfreTech is a non-profit in the US/Canada, and a registered NGO in Kenya under the name of 'ARES'. Our focus in delivering high quality digital education solutions in parts of rural East Africa that lack quality schools, have limited/no power, and limited/no internet. The ARES education system is an offline system that provides a massive amount of high-quality content along with notebooks, projectors, networking, etc. It also includes a significant amount of training and local support. We have over 75 systems installed now across East Africa now, and are going rapidly. We have recently been certified by the Kenyan Government for use by school systems. We are planning a major expansion in 2023, and are focused on fund-raising to support that effort. You can learn more at: https://afretech.org , and https:// AresEducation.org.
