Affordable, effective schools through digital skills building and low-cost infrastructure

​

Gabera Foundation, in partnership with Gabera Software Solutions LLC and ten local public and private schools, is working to enhance school management in Niger, aiming to create cost-effective, corruption-free schools where teachers can dedicate more time to students and parents,

rather than administrative tasks. Gabera Software Solutions introduces a school management platform with a parental portal, while Gabera Foundation focuses on capacity building by training teachers, administrators, and parents in digital skills and the use of online platforms. The Foundation also provides the necessary infrastructure and advocates for government support.

Building Capacity for Community-Led Initiatives

​

Civic engagement is vital because it empowers citizens to shape their communities, ensuring their voices are heard on issues that impact their lives. Gabera Foundation, in partnership with Gabera Software Solutions LLC and civil society organizations, fosters engagement through capacity building and training. While Gabera Software Solutions and partners develop the e-Samaria platform for cities and community groups to collect and prioritize residents' ideas on security, education, and health, the Foundation provides the skills and resources needed to engage citizens and drive meaningful change.

Voice technology for economic and social inclusion of marginalized communities

​

Widespread illiteracy prevents many people from accessing reliable information and public services, acquiring skills, securing loans, managing financial records, and defending their rights. Different communities speak different languages and cannot communicate with each other. To increase social and economic opportunities, Gabera is developing a voice-enabled Text-To-Speech (TTS) tool. This tool is being trained with words and sentences from local Nigerien languages over the period 2024-2028.
