And we have had some experience during COVID.
And we failed because it was difficult to design television education programs.
So we brought in a bunch of experts, and we've created these courses which sit across all the platforms, online, on TV, on radio.
It's called CINF, which means class.
Initially, we did biology, chemistry, physics, and mathematics, and we've got additional subjects.
But we're focused on the 10 million students, in particular, 6 million kids from grades 7 to 12.
And you have to remember, girls cannot go to school.
And these programs have been, UNICEF calls it perhaps the most successful education program
that they have globally, but we do it at scale.
So 5 million kids watch these programs on a weekly basis.
And we've done a base and end-line assessment of these kids with NYU in seven provinces, 1,800 households, 2,500 kids.
And the difference in terms of kids who watch the programs and kids who don't watch the programs range from 40% to 130% if they get reminders and if they get tutored on WhatsApp,
It's a 200% improvement.
Is it a person tutoring on WhatsApp or AI on WhatsApp?
Well, initially it was a bunch of students tutoring girls on WhatsApp.
But now we have a WhatsApp AI chatbot.
It's an AI chatbot that sits within WhatsApp because it's easier.
And we have 250,000 kids that use it.
250,000 kids that use it with tens of millions of queries and messages going back and forth.
