Partners

At Rising, collaboration is at the heart of everything we build, such as Rori.
We work closely with leading
education researchers, funders, and technical partners to design, test, and scale AI-powered math learning that is safe, effective, and accessible. Together, we are building evidence-based technology that helps students across Africa learn better, at scale.

Why Our Partnerships Matter

 

Our partners help ensure that Rori is:

• Evidence-based and rigorously tested
• Technically robust and scalable
• Ethically designed and safe for learners
• Cost-effective for low-resource communities
• Continuously improving through research and iteration

If you would like to help us scale Rori to reach millions of students across Africa, we’d love to hear from you. Whether you’re a Research institution, a school network, a Ministry of Education, a technology provider, a philanthropic funder, an NGO, or a development partner
