Does it really work with no internet?
Yes. You need a connection once, to download it from Google Play. Every video is inside the app from the moment it is installed. After that everything — lessons, games, books, video — runs with no connection at all.
What does it cost?
Nothing. Kina Wige is free while we run our pilot. If we ever introduce a family plan we will say so plainly and long before it happens; nothing you have already installed will stop working.
How old is it for?
Three to six — the pre-primary years. It works from before a child can read, because nothing in it depends on reading: every instruction is a picture, a colour and a spoken cue.
Where do I get it?
On Google Play, free, for Android phones. Search for Kina Wige, or tap the Google Play button on this page. Kina Wige is made for Android first, because that is the phone most families in Rwanda use.
What do you do with my child’s data?
Nothing, because we never receive it. There is no account and no server. The progress record lives in your phone’s own storage, and clearing the app removes it completely.
Who made it?
A small Rwandan team. The curriculum follows Rwanda’s six pre-primary learning areas, and every piece of content declares which skill it teaches before it is allowed into the app.
