In Kakuma Refugee Camp in northern Kenya, access to education is not something people can take for granted. For many women and girls, learning opportunities are limited by high data costs, lack of infrastructure, and the absence of accessible materials.

But sometimes, change begins with something very small.

Over the past weeks, together with our local partner Restore Hope for Street Children (RHSC), we distributed 105 microSD cards across Kakuma 2, 3, and 4- each preloaded with Audiopedia’s life-changing audio content.

We are grateful that Audiopedia Bharat was recognised at the Just AI Awards 2025 in the Education category. The Awards celebrate citizen-centred uses of AI that widen access and reduce exclusion, which is exactly the problem we work on every day.

Audiopedia has been included in the United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO) and United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD) Digital Economy Solution Navigator with a 5-star rating, recognising its voice-first, multilingual, offline-ready approach to digital financial literacy.

We are excited to announce a brand-new set of training videos designed to support community-based organizations, NGOs, and local leaders in Africa. These short, practical tutorials explain how to use microSD cards as powerful tools for bringing vital knowledge to the last mile.

We often share with you how Audiopedia is making a difference. But the real impact is best told by those on the ground. Today, we’re honored to share one of those voices with you: Aliyu Yusuf from Abuja, Nigeria, passionate Community Advocate at Arewa Empowerment & Cultural Renaissance Foundation (AECRF), tells us in his very own words about how he is using Audiopedia in his daily work with Nigerian women. He has kindly agreed to write the following blog post for us himself. 

Last month, we had the privilege of joining the Foro GLI LATAM 2025 in Mexico City – a vibrant and inspiring event focused on gender lens investing and accelerating the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) across Latin America. The forum brought together an incredible community of changemakers committed to driving real impact, and we are grateful to have contributed as an organisation.

At Audiopedia Foundation, we’ve always believed in the power of audible knowledge to create lasting change. For over a decade, we’ve reached millions of women with life-changing information—delivered in their own languages, in a way that overcomes both literacy and connectivity barriers.

But one big question has always followed us: How can companies be part of this movement?

Illiteracy and limited access to digital technology remain significant barriers to accessing critical health information in underserved communities worldwide. At Audiopedia, we sought a practical solution to these challenges through our project in Southeastern Nigeria. Utilizing localized audio content distributed via WhatsApp and memory cards, we effectively narrowed the knowledge gap, proving the potential of audio-based narrowcasting.
