Our Projects
YASA Community Service
- YASA envisions a community service program to support mathematics learning in homesteads and communities.
- We believe in parent-guided learning YASA will launch a community-based program and competition for parents to win prizes by supporting their children to excel in mathematics.
- Work with Math students to introduce mathematics nights in their homes and design tasks for them to use at the math night events in their homes.
YASA Schools Programme

- The program will aim at preparing primary and high school students for success by deepening their understanding of math.
- YASA will use a social and collaborative learning environment for students to access the support they need to increase their understanding of math.
- We hope to build a collaborative network in machine-aided math learning with software developers and machine-learning experts to deliver a grounded program for schools across Africa.
- We shall build a pool of math advisors from high schools to support in-school and inter-school exchange programs.
